Try TIE Fighter as well, if you can: the game engine is better, and the storyline is excellent. Thanks for the tip about DOSBox. I'd pay money to get that game in a modern package that would run on my system. (Same goes for SFC3 and NFS: High Stakes, mind you - both old games that I can't even get to run properly. Perhaps DOSBox is the answer?)

It's a little hard to get running sometimes, but there are plenty of guides online. On an older PC I was able to successfully get peripherals working.

Right now I think DOSBox is the best way to play the older games. I would fork over a good amount of money for an easy to use platform for playing older PC games and a marketplace that sold them.

Good Old Games www.gog.com has a nice selection, but it doesn't completely scratch the itch.
