I find that using a diskette still holds some satisfaction. Hearing the noise when you insert it and then from loading/reading it. Nothing can beat that. USB is too silent. ;) You had a game released by Nashua in which your aim was to collect diskettes. Or what about the early Duke Nukem's ? That's it, I am going to download the games and DOSBox. BTW could you VM MS-DOS ?

my first pc was when i was 13,im using it at the moment
configuration 256mb RAM,40GB,intel 845gv IGP,mATX.

I can't remember the specs of it... it was an old PC running Windows 98... then i had the old family computer which had XP....

1st pc was a macintosh classic. I upgraded it, so it's stats are amazing!

A whopping 1mb of RAM
20mb of disk space, WOW!
8K processor, INCREDIBLE!

It's crap now compared to my mac mini

Yes, that little click when you first insert it and release it is quite a satifying sound.

Regarding VM MS-DOS, it says on this page that DOS version 7, which I haven't got, (v 6.0), can be run in a virtual machine.

'Note about virtual machines: MS-DOS 7.10 Full Version works smoothly in a virtual machine (e.g. Virtual PC, VMWare Workstation and even Bochs)
as well as in a real machine. So you can also install it in virtual machines.'

Yes Duke Nukem. I got the trial for that with a games CD that came with a magazine, but when I saw it at a store, I bought it, as it was on offer..
I did like that game, although it seems pretty crude now compared to the standards of ganes today.

Anybody heard of these games:

Heavy Metal Fakk 2? - Nice 1st person 3D swordfest.
Rise of the triad? - Another 1st person 3D game, but can't recall it so well.

Rise of the Triad, wow.. You also had Rise of the Robots. One Must Fall 2097, ODT, Commander Keen, Lemmings, Push!, Skyroads, Krypton Egg, Bananoid, I could go on for a while now I notice..

Hehe - And Carmageddon, which I really liked...;)

Couldn't tell you the brand as I was so young but it had Windows v3.1 on it. I used to play Oregon Trail on it.
