my computer is 8 years old, and i can still play games like civ 4, but the list is very short, for many games, so abandonware is the cure.

its ridicolous how the even demos of today are a few gigs,i got an xbox 360,and thats the norm in pc and console demos these days, but big size doesnt equal big fun. and awesome graphics doesnt mean an awesome game.

i still enjoy civ 1 over civ 4, i must say fallout 3 is way better than fallout 1 though.

if you want a cheap pc to play new games, without worrying about upgrading, get a xbox 360, (ps theres even arcade games you can buy, some are old school too)

but yay for abandonware, because the games are cool, and its free!!!! free shit rules like they get in denmark!

also when i found out this site was run by chicks, i was startled to say the least, ther are FAR to few girls that enjoy games in my opinion.

Props to you all.

But here’s a tricky question for you. I’m a big fan of the old Settlers games, and Settlers II in particular. I know it was possible to play the game splitscreen as long as you had two mice attached to the computer, though in those days that would’ve meant PS/2 and serial or multiple serial mice. Sadly the computer here only has USB ports available, and multiple mice therefore aren’t recognised separately by DOSBox. Are you aware of any workaround that might solve this problem?
