"where do those old child-hood games go?"

where do all those lovely child hood games we played on dos go ?
classics from Apogee
those games were quite simple and the graphics were nothing compared to todays but there was something about them. For example , Hocus Pocus by apogee ,one of the best game s i have played.
does anyone know where i can buy this game?

thanx

not as good as syndicate or beneath a steel sky.

you don't use emulators for old games. Apogee split off into 3D Realms. so check their website for long lists of apogee games and shareware versions. but I assure you that you can find any old game on the internet but i can't really help you. but look for Abandonware. commander keen and the original duke nukem were clearly the best games.

That doesn't work for all games though :(

It should do, you can use the "Compatability wizard" wizard thing to emulate a windows 98 interface

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find an emulator for most old games, if they were that popular. Try google.com

I was sad to find that you can get Cannon Fodder from Play for £4.99, but it doesn't work on XP!
