    I didn't know DOS anything still existed. Can they still
    be used?

    Oh yeah. They work fine on my Win98 machine. Might have
    problems with a newer operating system, but even if you have
    XP you could still boot your computer with an old DOS floppy
    and then run it.

    I seem to find more than enough things to spend (some
    would say waste) time on!

    I guess we all waste time on something. That's called
    leisure isn't it?

    All work, no play and all that...

    Computer games before pictures? DOS games?

    Yep, that's right.

    Good grief yes! 'Specially if you've got a version of Win
    3.1 or 95 hanging around on a machine somewhere. Win98 isn't
    quite as keen on them, but they can still work. And of
    course, there are plenty of Windows versions of text-based
    games, including the Colossal Cave, which I downloaded,
    remembered how frustrating it could be... and then found my
    oldest son having a go at it!
