There are games that hooked me, usually in an emotional fashion (like Starflight, Metal Gear and Final Fantasy series, Omikron, MDK, Out of this World and the like), that I would love to be able to play five, ten, fifteen or twenty years later (it is already 20 years on Starflight).</p> <p>Thankfully, with these PC games, emulators like DOS-Box exist. I only hope that games like Fable will have Windows emulators when we are all using something much more advanced and stable.</p> I understand your frustrations.
