Hi Paulette,
No, I never solved the Elf game. Actually not even sure how much I ever played
it. It would have been awhile ago. I did fire it up yesterday and it plays
Christmas music through the pc speaker.
You know that many of the old dos games will play just fine on a Windows XP
computer. Some do not, but many do.
You can just put the games in a folder and click on them, or you can go to the
dos command prompt and start them as you did in the dos days.
In about 2000 I started converting my dos games to windows versions and can do
so much more with the sounds in the windows versions. Plus I really like allot
of my sapi5 voices much better than the dos hardware synthesizers, so I don't
play many of the dos games like I used to. But I do remember that I only ever
finished a few of the text adventure games, such as Leather Goddesses of
Phobos, Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy and Vampires. I also very much liked
Deep Space Drifter, but was never able to finish it.
BFN
Jim
