How do you get your old game working on a modern system?
The short answer is to download and use DOSBox. For other options read on.

Most of the games featured on this site run best in a 16 bit DOS environment where they have full access to available hardware. Current versions of the Windows operating system are programmed for 32 and more recently 64 bit platforms where a 16 bit application may not be able to run directly. Windows does provide a virtual machine that allows execution of 16 bit programs on these platforms. Unfortunately the built in virtual machine leaves much to be desired when trying to get old games working correctly. The good news is there are numerous 3rd party applications that will give much better compatibily with these 16 bit applications. The following are some recommendations on how you can get that old 16 bit application/game running again just as you remember it.

Some people like to keep an old computer around just for the reason of running their old applications and games. If you don't have one you might be able to find one at a flea market or yard sale for a low price. If you don't have a DOS installation disk handy, you can download FreeDOS and install it to get the computer up and running. You will probably have to use a memory manager to free memory for memory hungry games, and figure out the correct IRQ and DMA settings for your sound card.

If you don't have space for another comptuer and you have a FAT partition on your hard drive, you could use a boot disk to boot directly into DOS. Then you can install your old program on your FAT partition and run it directly. You can get a DOS bootdisk at bootdisk.com. You'll still need to do memory tweaking and figure out IRQ and DMA settings.

Sometimes the game you are trying to run works fine except for a lack of sound. If this is the case, you can try VDMSound. It emulates some legacy soundcards and other hardware that will help you get your game working again.

If you don't want to mess around with old hardware and the headaches of memory managers and boot disks then emulation is probably what you are looking for. I'll go over a few of the available emulators and you can choose one that suits your needs. The first two, VMware and Virtual PC, are commercial applications that are both free to download and install. The main benefit of these are easy setup and configuration. Two other emulators, qemu and bochs, are Open Source. They are more difficult to configure, but have most of the featurs of the commercial emulators. These emulators will require you to create a virtual hard drive image, install an OS onto it, and install your games. The last emulator I'll talk about, and the most easy to use, is DOSBox. Unlike the other emulators, you will not need to create a virtual hard drive because it will read directly from your file system. It has a wide range of options that will let you tweak settings to your liking. It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and it is Open Source. This is the preferred way of running old games and applications on modern systems.

Description of Red Baron

Read Full Description

Seasons (2010) mac os. Arguably the best WW1 flight sim ever made, Red Baron is the legendary game from Damon Slye of Dynamix.

Offering you the chance to be a pilot in World War One, Red Baron featrures 28 different aircraft from both the Allied and the German sides, a superb career mode, and a diverse array of missions including dogfights, balloon-busting, zeppelin hunting, escort, and more.

If my saying 'best' multiple times won't convince you, here is a good review at MobyGames that should: 'I'm a fight sim junkie, I try them all. Technically this one isn't the best; the physics are only so-so, there isn't a lot in the world other than the planes, and the missions are all canned. Otto and the ancient worlds mac os. And being on a PC in '91 you get lousy graphics and sound too (compared to the Mac of the same era). Normally this would result in me trashing the game, but I can't, it's probably the best one I've ever flown. That's because of the way the game draws you in.

The campaign system is flawlessly executed and follows you through the war, offering promotions, movement to 'expert' squadrons, even personal challenges from pilots on the other side. I had two of these, in one a French pilot challenged me and I won after having to hide out in some clouds for a while. In another I showed up and he brought his entire squad with him - but I was flying a Triplane so they didn't last long. An example of the depth is the way your plane is handled. Once you've done well enough you are allowed to start requesting the newest models from the factories, and even get to paint them the way you like in an editor. I haven't seen that anywhere else.

As to the rest it's all 'good enough'. There's enough planes in the air at once, enough types of them, enough types of missions, enough AI, enough of a flight model etc. They did just enough to make the engine work, and when combined with the campaign system the whole thing just lit up. I think the only real flaw was the rather poor 'world' outside the planes. Basically there wasn't one. Dipping below 10000ft put you in this netherworld where nothing happened.

Perhaps more annoying is that the missions are completely hard-wired with absolutely no randomness at all. This gets distracting when you re-play them, which you will. Hellcats had this one beat. Also the AI was good for its day, but didn't show enough variance for different famous pilots. For instance in one mission the Red Baron (I was now a member of the flying circus) got killed by flying directly onto the nose gun of a British bomber. I was stunned so I tried it again,and the same thing happened. That's somewhat annoying considering that the Baron was famous for 'hanging out' way above the fight and then coming down when planes attempted to leave combat. I suppose this isn't a trivial issue considering the machines of the day, but I did find it distracting.'

If you like flight sims only a little, Red Baron is a must-have. It is an incredibly atmospheric game that is very accessible - I am no pilot, and yet Red Baron is one of a handful of flight sims I was compelled to finish.

Sierra released this game as freeware in 1997 to promote the sequel, but did not also release the rarer Mission Builder add-on disk that allows you to make your own missions - see the screenshot above. You can find both the game and the Mission Builder disk in our download here :)

Too bad the sequel Red Baron II that Sierra released in 1997 is nowhere near as much fun as this classic (not least because Damon Slye was no longer involved). A must-have!

Sim

This is a competent flight sim, with interesting opponents, and satisfying progress.
My favorite part is the video recorder feature which allows you to replay your skillful performances. You can enter the combat at any point in the recording, and turn a failed flight into a victory, if you know what you did wrong. lots of view points. cool game
