DOS Games

Hi, i have a new computer with Windows XP and i can't play old classic DOS games such as Doom. They run but very slowly.

What can i do about this?

actually doom runs fine on my computer.. if it runs slow, you might want to try to run it in compatiblity mode..

 

 

did anyone manage to get warcraft 1 and 2 to work under winxp?

Warcraft 1 works okay here without any problems. I haven't tried Warcraft 2 yet though.

hooper48 use an enhanced port like Doom Legacy. Zdoom, or JDoom.

There was a whole thread on these ports:
