Hi there I got hold of almost the very first game I ever played on a PC as such, and while it's meant to run in the command line, and basically you type in commands/answers etc., it just seems to hang if now run under Windows XP Pro, and although I tried playing with various settings in the properties dialogue, under the program tab, which seems to be basically focused on some properties specific to command line apps, even when then trying to run it from the then created 'shortcut', it just 'hangs', and if I try virtualising the window using Jaws key + Ctrl + W, it still returns nothing, so I think it's literally just hanging.
I suppose I could try create a virtual machine using an installation of something like MSDos 6.0 (which I think was the last standalone of DOS or thereabouts), and see if that would then work, but what then about screenreading? Anyway, know this isn't mainstream, but just thought I may as well ask, and for interests sake, this game is the text-based adventure game of the Hobbit from around the late 80s, and it was literally one of the first games I really played on a PC (where had already been playing others in a Commodore 64).
