Opinions/thoughts on downloadable games?

Is there more of a "collectible" quality to the old Apple II version of "Oregon Trail" since most people don't have Apple IIs anymore?  I'm a little young to remember much about my Apple II... they didn't have their variation of "CD keys," did they?

I dunno, when we went to CCAG, there was a dude selling some Apple II and old PC stuff. While it was neat, I doubt I'd ever go after any of it. Of course now with things like DOSBox, you can play old DOS based games on newer PCs, which lead me to start playing old games like Warcraft II and Daggerfall again. Sadly it plays in a window and it is 1/4 of the size of my PC's screen, so it's more novelty than anything. Not at all like hooking up the old NES and playing some Mega Man II.

... You DO know you can configure DOSBox so it has full screen display and other stuff, right? :P

I actually prefer to find old complete games. Much of the time they have some items that later reprints left out... like A PRINTED MANUAL.

No? I'm actually pretty new to the whole dosbox thing. haha

tpugmire:
I've never even heard of this dosbox business before.  Does this mean I can play The Dig again?

Yup, it's basically a DOS emulator. Lets you run your old DOS based games on newer hardware.
