I know this may sound a bit rude, but I really think you should learn how to use DOSBox. It's not that hard (just take about an hour to really go through it) and all the games on the site will work. It's really worth it - DOSBox may require a little initial thinking, but it's not very difficult, just don't let the non-clicking screens where you need to type something that makes no sense at first scare you off.
Heh, there are very few computer screens that could scare me off, seeing as how I've been coding since you were in diapers.

And I have had DOSBox up and running succesfully. At one time I was very heavy into the emulation scene - Amiga, C64, MAME, DOS, you name it. But no matter how "easy" and technologically advanced the emulation is, there is always time and effort involved in not only the initial setup of the emulator, but often with each new game. I'm at a time in my life with four small kids that I simply don't have the time or inclination to deal with that anymore, no matter how easy it is. It's just a personal choice at the moment to stick with games that work in the native os. But since I have been around so long I do like to find those occasional old-time treasure that still works in XP.

Thanks.
