Hello.
Many, many moons ago I was (and still am) a top class mapper for BUILD engined games (Duke 3d, Blood et al) but my current machine just doesn't like DOS.
Duke3d will run, but the screen res won't go higher than 320x240 and say bye-bye to sound (even though my SonicFury claimes to have Soundblaster emulation). And don't even think about getting the editor software to run. The same is true of Shadow Warrior, Blood, Redneck Rampage and all the rest.
So the question is, did anyone ever write a handy little program to get these old DOS/Win95 games to run under Windows 2000? Or is it a trip to the flea market for a cheap Win95 P200 and a SoundBlaster 16 machine.
Or should I get with the program and play UT2004 like everyone else?
