Bethesda have decided to release Daggerfall for FREE. Yes, you heard that correctly.

Sure, it may be a little old but it was an amazing game (it still is). It may not be as graphically impressive but the gameplay was solid. But anyway, it's only 148MB - although it's taking me forever to download because of a slow download speed (seems everyone's trying to download it at the same time right now...).

Download it here.

NOTE: You may need an emulation program to play it (they have a link to DOSBOX on the page).

Looks cool but I hate DOSBOX. It hasn't run correctly on my Vista IN EVER.

Is there any way to get DOS games to run in Vista?

Just got back on the internet after losing my access for a week. Read more on Random Discussion.

I actually think so. Can't really help on that though.

WJUK will help.

(I've also PM'd him about those spam topics.)

DOSBOX (google it).

Works great for me.

Oh, I heard it didn't work with Vista (see above). I'll try it again.

DOSBox works fine on Vista. I've played a bunch of old games using it.

How does it not work? Maybe I can help you out.

Do you not know how to mount a drive properly or something?

The word bassed part is the problem. I can't get it to mount a drive withought it crashing.

That shouldn't happen.

Do you mount like this: "mount c <DESTINATION>"?

Without the quotation marks obviously, and the "c" can be any letter really.

Nope I didn't put the < > In the destination. I guess thats why then.

Oh wait no, you don't need to put <>s in. I was just doing that to show that was meant to be a file-path.

And the file-path can be a bit weird, since there's only a limited number of characters it takes before it cuts it off.

For example, the file-path I normally use is: "C:\Users\JohnLa~1\Docume~1\"

Why can't dosbox just be mouse operated like everything else these days.

I also suggest edditing out your name on the last one.

It's recreating the DOS prompt from the old days, which was command-line based. No GUI, no nothing. It may seem archaic but I still use command-line interfaces now, specifically on Linux. It's not as user-friendly, but if you know what you're doing you can do so much more using it.

And that's not my full name and most people here know it anyway.

I know how it can be usfull. And you don't neccisarily need to use Dosbox for romulations. But I still would like to see a GUI for it that doesn't scare me into thinking "spyware". Because there are GUI's of dossbox thru the website but they don't work as well as they should. Call me what you want but I don't think there are enough good Dos games that I would take hours to find out why it doesn't work.

I'm sure there is other software out there like DOSbox and some may have a GUI.

And you don't think that because you never grew up in the DOS era. There were TONS of great games that you can't play on newer versions of Windows now (Vista and 7, specificially). Some people would argue the best games of all time came from the DOS era.

I know there are a handfull. But in my oppinion thats all. Duke nukem was one of them. But Tank Wars was my favorite. I can't play it anymore though.
