MoM sure sounds like a fun game. I'm thinking about downloading and installing the game but it seems that you have to run the program DosBox for MoM to work properly on the XP.
Since I'm only 16 years old, without any PC of my own, my dad would freak if something happened to our computer (yes I'm a whiny kid). My question is: Will DosBox f(censored)k up the computer, with f(censored)k up I mean make any serious changes to the system?

I almost forgot: Legacy of Kain series rule! Great story and action. (thanks for the reminder Kamamura

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.

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

)

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

).
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".
