Hi Edward.
This is my forte, so I'd be happy to help you with this, I bought a vintage
laptop to give me the experience I had when I was at school, however it is
possible to play classic text-based adventure games that you might have
played on DOS, however please email me off list and I will help you out
here.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [access-uk] Running old DOS programs
Hi all,
I quite fancy playing some of the old text-based games that I used to play
under MS DOS 6.2 and wonder what is required to do this or whether it’s
still possible.
I don’t have any machines running MS Dos, but I do have Windows machines
running Windows XP, 7 and 8. I also have a Mac but I imagine it would be
easier to do this under Windows.
If this is possible, do I need one of the old DOS screen readers or can the
games be made to run under Windows perhaps from a command line?I realise
that this is probably of limited interest to the list, so please feel free
to write to me privately or to direct me to online sources of information.**
