Don,
    The new stuff is designed for all the eye candy, but only a small amount 
of the power.  Imagine your old DOS favorites running on today's hardware. 
Almost instantaneous results!  Then, some of my favorite games are the old 
AD&D episodes that came on floppy.  Most of them needed only one disk for 
the whole game, but it still took 3 months to complete.  Today's games leave 
little to the imagination and leave me feeling somewhat cheated.

    Since everyone now knows I've been around since the advent of dirt, I'll 
leave that last question of yours for the rest of the group.       lol

Peace,
GMan
