DOS Gaming titles available
Laura Kid asks: Are they all Windows? What are requirements? Laura, I don't know the seller or what they have. But looking at the titles as dated from 1990 to 1997, some versions of say Paint Shop PRo 7 and so on? Seems to me these are Windows 98 Windows XP era, maybe some MS-DOS games stuff too. Some of the software might need product numbers to enable them but the non-office gaming stuff may only need to run from the original CD. Sounds like a stack of CD's. Recent 64-bit Windows might choke on some of these but I've run things like Paint Shop Pro 9 under Win 10. Or run on an older Windows OS just for their use. But I don't see anything that needs networking/browsing to work, at-a-glance, so an old PC's networking won't be needed. No promises from me. As Degnan's listing says, contact Bill to connect to the seller. My guess is these would fit a flat-rate Priority Mail box if the seller wants to ship. Regards Herb Johnson -- Herbert R.
