Has anyone used www.gog.com? They seem to modify and offer old PC games so they now run on XP and Vista.

Looks a great site - anyone any experience?

There's a Community link on their page which takes you to a forum. From reading there (and I might be wrong) it looks like they sell bona fide copies of the software and bundle it with dosbox, configured to run that app.

Cool I got a few old win 98 games that dont work under vista, however I am half tempted to get a cheap copy of 98 and run a dual boot system. The only problem I can see with it is drivers

I still have a win98se PC in my studio next to my XP one. Rubbish at getting rid of stuff and I have plenty of old games that just won't go on the XP machine. Mind you, I still have an Atari ST too...

No GOG users then?
