Hmm, interesting. And amazingly a thoughtful post for once. ;] Much as I love flamers.
Well, okay, Duke 3D is a little jagged in grgaphics, but no worse than the original
was. ;] Garbage in garbage out. Point being, it does ruun, and quite well, even by
comparison ot the original. And most of the game I played worked fine, with a couple
exceptions.
I just think it's funny M$ keeps claiming their stuff isn't based on DOS, etc. etc.
but it still runs a good majority of the programs. When are they finally going to
do something new and get away from the antiquity? Maybe Longhorn will do it if/when
they get it working... Being theoretically based on a database model for the filesystem,
etc... B@$t@rd$ stole my idea. ;]
