I can't comment on where he lives or for what purposes he needs to run DOS
instead of a more moderm system with windows but there could be many
reasons.
1/ Where he lives in the world there exists many people with older systems
that can not run windows 95 even and DOS is still prevalent.
2/ He's making a kiosk game where simplicity may over ride the need for a
more complex system. DOS game programming was orders of magnitude easier
than coding the same game under a windows. That is assuming you are using
existing libraries for graphics and sound to help out. If you are doing
everthing then the reverse is true.
3/ The client spec'ed the requirements of a DOS game so there is no choice.
Some of the top of the old noggin.
