Could you please give me a guesstimate of the percentage of games that would run on a 80286 w/ 2MB Ram w/ CGA ?

There are some games for 286, but almost VGA or EGa is a requirement. As you know most folks now have VGA and up. TTYL GroupWare

Ismail: Please arrange to place something meaningful in the topic area! It really doesn't do an good to have just "x" and it's not a serv ice to yourself or other members. Thanks – Rich

Ismail, I bought this CD "Super Games for DOS," along with "Super Games for Windows," from your store two weeks ago, being lucky enough to live close enough… I've only been through 40 of the "150 Super Games for C:>DOS" so far and one or two of the Windows disk. You should be aware, although there seems to be a fine selection of shareware, not all of them can be "…run from the disk…" as stated. A08, Hoosier City, prompts you through installation to hard disk. Then, it doesn't run anyway… Several other games (6 from the 40 I've tried so far) don't run either, especially if they're loaded from the "GO.BAT" file in each subdir. . A09, Jill of the Jungle, begins to run for a few moves then exits with a quick message: "YIKES, THIS GAME HAS GOOFED. REPORT CODE <20>"! Did I get a bad copy or do many of these shareware games and demos, commonly have severe bugs in them? Thanks for your help.. -Mike
