Re: Favorite games
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.

Re: Favorite games
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.

Re: Favorite games
DOSbox will not do anything other than emulate DOS.

Re: Favorite games
The FoodStamp / Sector24 combo worked perfect for me.

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 )
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".

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.

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