What? Dosbox f-up your computer? I don't think so.. I've never heard of such a thing.

It's just a dos emulator, I'm sure it's no more risky than any other program.

I have it on my computer and nothing has happened.

Check Foodstamp's post on this page, it looks like you can run MoM without DOSBox. But even if you do need DOSBox, it's pretty harmless as far as I know.

DOSbox will not do anything other than emulate DOS.

The FoodStamp / Sector24 combo worked perfect for me.

Re: Favorite games
 

thanks for the help guys. I'll try it out.

Re: Favorite games
 

Installing Dosbox should be no more dangerous than installing Microsoft Word. (Perhaps even less, because Word would mess with windows to associate its files with itself http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif)

And I recently discovered another game that definitely goes in my favorite pile: "UFO:Alien Invasion". It's heavily inspired by the original XCOM games (which were awesome, as everyone should already know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif).
It's Open Source (which is good), and not entirely complete (which is bad), but it is complete enough to play and enjoy without noticing anything "missing".

To put some of the original purpose back into this thread http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Roughly in order:

UFO: Aftershock
Master of Orion 3
Broken Sword 3
Dominions 3 (duh)
Rome: Total War
Freespace 2
Independence War 2
Wizardry 8 (Played it so many times, haven't finished it even once)
Baldur's Gate 2
Knights of the old Republic 2

Re: Favorite games
 

Haha, yes, Wizardry 8. I began it 3 times and like you never finished it. I don't know why, I really like it.

Re: Favorite games
 

Not many people like Heroes of Might and Magic series I see...for me HoMM3 is the best game I've ever played, I'm a die hard Heroes fan, still addicted to it and making new maps/campaign for it.

Re: Favorite games
 

the same, never finish it and I began it a lot of times.
Maybe because I wanted to try another team each time
