Well I found DOS easy to use. It was just a matter of memorizing commands. Now we have just abunch of robots going thru life. I do miss some of my favorite text adventures like Leather Goddesses of Fobos, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Leisure Suit Larry, but it's not worth it for me to fool around with now. With my luck, I'll try to install this DOS Box and it'll all crash! Then, I'll be out of commission for God knows how long. Thank you, no thank you! Ya'll can play!
