Splash screen is from working DOS 6.22 with WfW 3.11. It is part of nostalgia. :( I have DBase installed, as well VB 3.0, MS office 4.0 and couple other handy programs.

Of course, I am running this in emulator - vmware workstation.

Win 3.11 from opening post I took from DOSBox with Win3.11 installed on top of it.

@pinky - I have both games actually running, MOO and MOM, together with my favorite Civ, Pirates! and Col. Civ and Col I have 2 version, DOS and Windows, but still prefer one on Amiga. If I remember correctly, there was set of Sid Meier games on CD back in 90's that I got for couple dollars in Sam's Club.

There used to be a game called, I think, "War At Sea", or something like that. Published by Broderbund, if I remember correctly.

It was a fun game, "wooden ships and iron men" kind of game. I never knew of or saw an MS-DOS version of he game. I had it for Macintosh, and the graphics were decent to good, considering the small mono screen on my Mac SE.

The Apple ][ version, which I also had, didn't 'work' as well as the Mac version did and the graphics sucked. Had it been written for the Apple ][gs, they might have been better.

Choplifter, on the other hand, was beautiful...

Quoted from "RoMage;595258"

For a friend here... screen short of SC running on Dos 6.22.

I'm sure that version of SC is about 1000x better than the "new" one that was recently released. I hate to admit it but even RoM is in better shape than that game is!

I heard bad staff about that game as well, haven't tried it yet and not even sure if I like to try it.

Some games did well with time, like civilization, even on console and tablets (I have Civ Revolution for iPad).

I still find old games more attractive. I still boot some of those strategy games... got to love them...\

Here are some pink-hat screen grabs...

Ahh games back in the day. So many great memories. I remember the original Wing Commander and trying to run it on my (at that time) top of the line 486 DX2 66mhz PC. Had to use a program called "MoSlo" to eat up enough CPU cycles to make it playable.

Anyone remember stunts?

Used to play Stunt Car Racer on Amiga. Still have brother's Stunt game... ;)

UFO - Enemy Unknown was among best game of the time (my transition from Amiga to PC), still playable and enjoyable, and IMHO much better then successors.

Yep, without moslo some games were unplayable on any faster computer. I had huge problem with my at time top of the line Pentium 200 MMX computer.

One game that blowed me away with graphics was Apache Longbow. I love simulations, and this was like dream come true... Still got my fly-stick controller.

Game really changed very fast... Still remember first time I got Tomb Raider, my younger brother and friend were dissapointed when they heard the name of the game, it was not Tekken they hoped for. We started playing, at the time my sound system was connected to TV, and game at first was boring for them, but once they heard wolfs and panic started... they fell in love with game, stayed up whole night at my place. Brother later took PS and I have not seen it for 4-5 years. :D
