| Post subject: | O/T PC game |
Just found on that popular auction website a really old RL game called Wembley Rugby League. Used to have it on the Amiga in the early 90's, it's for PC this one but presumably must be at least 15 years old. Anyone reckon this would play on a modern laptop? Only a few quid, but thought no point buying it just to have to frisbie it in the bin. Would appreciate any help.

I would imagine you would need Dos Box if it's a pre Windows 95 game, otherwise you should be able to run it in Windows I think. |

What are you running if its windows vista/7 you can right click it/ click compatability/ tick the box to allow it and then chose which version of windows you want to try and run it on.

DosBox is your friend when it comes to old PC games. I'd recommend D-Fend Reloaded which adds a nice menu to DOSBox making it easier to use. |

Game arrived yesterday but won't play on my laptop.  Free to good home if anyone wants to try it on theirs.
