Hey there all. Haven't posted here in ages, but I've got something fun to share.

Harpoon II: Admiral's Edition (and I dare say any other old DOS game you like) CAN run fine under Win XP (I've got home, but pro would prolly work too)

What you need is a nice program, a DOS emulator called DOS-Box, which you can get here http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1
Don't let the version number fool you, it works GREAT!! Try anything and everything 'old' you've wanted to run but couldn't. This program allows you to adjust emulated speed on-the-fly as well .... I could go on raving, but won't.
I urge you to check out this beautiful program. You won't regret it.
