Do you have any old gaming favorites such as Age of Rifles which, despite your best efforts, just refuse to run on Windows XP? If the answer is yes and you have some knowledge of DOS, a good program to turn to is DOSBox. DOSBox is a Windows, Linux and Mac-based product which allows you to run all of your old DOS games with as little hassle as possible. It took me a little bit of trial and error (and some reading of the manual) to get things set up properly, but now Age of Rifles runs relatively smoothly on my Windows XP Home desktop. I first heard about this piece of software in this post on the Age of Rifles Yahoo Group. Thanks to user “Patrick” for the idea.
