Hi, Phil. How about releasing your dos games as freeware or as shareware? There are still computers out there able of playing the old dos games. For example, I still have my old laptop I used in college which was made in the late 90's. It has Windows 98 on it, is a p166, and the only reason I keep that latptop around is to play allot of my old Win 95 and Win 98 games that no longer run in Windows XP. Another type of system you may not be aware of is the hard core people who use Linux can run many dos games via dos emulation. It is a pain, but playing old dos games in Linux is possible. I do understand your desire to take them off the market, stop supporting them, and move to Windows. However, if you released them as freeware without support I think some folks would still get a kick out of them. I always like demo of Red Dragon Kickboxing, Panzers in North Africa were ok, and some of those dos games would be alright for some folks.
