    Great game.

    Demos | The DOS Multiplayer Archives (Website with packaged demos of DOS games with multiplayer support.)

    Again, I must point out, that DosFreak (on vogons) is the guy I have borrowed the link from. But DF is a cool dude . So being inspired, and "stealing" his links is not really bad. When in fact, I am just sharing the love :) also here is another site, that could help with IPX problems.

    IPXWrapper - Solemn's site

    My personal recommendations are:

    star wars: x-wing for DOS ( it's a space simulator so realistic of star wars )
    Frontier: elite 2 ( enough said, one of the best space sim out there )
    Dwarf Fortress ( it is a new game regurlary update, and is so amazing )
    Elders Scrolls Arena or Daggerfall ( same gameplay as skyrim but with the goold old dos feeling ).

    Not sure if already mentioned, but Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive is a great game, and miles better than Commandos :)

    Many games for the C64 days. These include Xenon, Firepower, Rockford, Let Live and Let Die, ect. Had many a good time playing these '80s classics.

    When all else fails, get Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle(I haven't played it yet, however. But I really want to).

    Again, while I was browsing another forum, I stumbled upon this little site. Which has tools for viewing graphics for different old games, including other machines, than just the PC. Such as the Atari and the Amiga computer.

    Kroah's Game Reverse Engineering Page - Choose your Game -
