OK you Ol' swabs!

I was able to get Aces Over Europe(from the original 3 Sierra floppies) up and running on my winxp pro system! As well as Aces Of The Deep!! You may already know about this but I thought I would pass it on anyway.

What I did was download a program called DOSBox and another windows frontend for DOSBox called D-Fren v2.

The links for these are below.

DOSBox-0.63-install.exe
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1

D-Fend-2.0.62.42.exe

Installed DOSBox first and then D-Fend.

D-Fend has a setup wizard and is extremely easy to use.

So far I have tested about 20 old dos games and everyone worked perfect.

Here is my setup: WinXP Pro, 2GB Ram, ATI Radeon XT 256MB,STA soundcard. I was viewing it on a 24inch SyncMaster monitor too!

Aces Over Europe
Aces Of The Pacific
Aces Of The Deep
Red Baron
Doom,1,2,SE
Spear of Destiny
Wolfenstien
BlackThorn

Pretty cool to see these old games and hear the music again.
