DOS Gaming when PC gaming was truely Unique

A cursory google search will net you a set of pre-configured files, so you don't really need to do much work except to mount the appropriate folder, type "win" and you're playing minesweeper in no time.

I guess no one noticed that I just previously provided a link to download Windows 3.1 preinstalled with DOSbox all ready to go:

Have any of you guys ever installed Win 3.1 inside DOSBox? I'm thinking of doing this to get some older, more stubborn games working in Windows 10.

I'm going to just stop bothering.

Preinstalled is for casuals.

I did see it, thank you. I just hadn't had a chance to look at that site yet - figured I would do so when I had time at home.

Oh, quite being so melodramatic. I type slowly. You're just too fast for me. You beat me to it by half an hour.

Took you 30min to write that eh? You must be slow.


Casual or not I grabbed that file. I haven't seen the inside of 3.11 in I can't remember how long now....1996-98ish. Win95 was so awful and buggy I had removed it and kept 3.11 around until 98 popped up. I know the 3 upgrades to 95 as it trucked along fixed quite a bit but I wasn't having it back then. I added all these patches and things to 3.11 so it would run a good bit of the stuff meant for 95 anyway.

Yeah, I like to double-check things when I'm typing. This slows me down, but it prevents me a bit of embarrassment too.

Makes sense I tend to use the edit feature. I tend to type so fast that sometimes the wrong word gets dropped into place or one gets left out which can screw up intent.
