you guys should also go to "good old games" at gog.com, there are some classics there that are really cheap and work instantly without any fiddling about.

So just a matter of downloading a DOS emulator like the one Steam uses. Any recommendations?

God, is this all sad or what?

you could try DOSBox, an x86 emulator with DOS

I might see if I can get worms working. That was a classic.

Just found another way to waste a saturday afternoon

and risk getting a migraine

Saw the id Super Pack for sale on Steam for £38, comprising over 20 of id Software's games from Commander Keen through to Quake 3

The graphics on the older ones are worse than I remember, but having another play on them after nearly 20 years brings back memories.
