Len,
I have a question regarding Windows and games.
Let's suppose I wanted to purchase a graphics-based game designed for those
other computers. Am I correct that:
1. Even if I have Code Blue but not Windows there is no way this game will
run;
2. If I have Windows and the game is specifically designed for Windows,
that the game should run fine;
3. If I have Windows and the game is *not* designed for Windows, that
there's no way to tell ahead of time if it will run or not?
I do not have a specific game in mind, but my wife can't quite figure out
why there's all those games in the stores and they won't run on the
Rainbow. Thought I might be able to solve the problem with Windows. (BTW,
do you know if there are any games written for Windows?)
Also, I understand that even though Microsoft still says that a 286 is the
minimum recomended system for Windows, that they also have been
recommending a 386 since 3.0 was released. How is the RB version as far as
speed on a Turbow?
Thanks for your help.
