    Help with Playing old games on new PCs

    Forgive my fetish for some older classics but I like older gaming. I'd love to play King's Quest V with all the speech, music and sound again. I've tried VMware/Virtual PC builds but they don't do the synth music of the older games. I currently have the KQ collection. Any sites or advise would be helpful.

    You could try DOSBox or ScummVM.

    There's even Aleph1 for running old MAC games on PC (check out TechZ's Marathon thread).

    Check the Home of the Underdogs website, there may be updated versions or emulators for the games you want to play.
    When all else fails.....FDISK!
