Hi Glenn I just stumbled across your site. I am running Windows 7 so will these work on mine?
get dosbox (google it) to run old games on windows
i installed it no problem on windows 7 home, however don't have access to the map to enter the game: for instance - Western city – province of thracia ?
thanks richard_lacroix@yahoo.com
This game, Centurion, has copy protection and your install guide doesn't address that issue. It asks a question at the start, and so far I haven't been able to find an online manual. Anybody have a suggestion as to where? Shame it's not here, or linked.
just type in anything u want the rite protection is toast
