I loved playing the old destination mars game.
But you can't access DOS via windows seven.
It would be cool to convert the old DOS favorites to the windows platform.
My brother and a friend of ours also miss the old shutting galery game as
well.
Thanks for this letter.

Hey, everyone for the last few days I have been talking to Richard L.
De Steno the creator of great games such as Destination Mars and Run
For President.
He told me that his games are freeware so if any of us would like to
pass out his games that is fine. Here is the email I recieve below.

Re: Quick info please.
I have made the DOS games freeware. There is no real market for DOS
games anymore. Those games were written in a DOS programming language.
In order to enable them to run in Windows, I would have to completely
rewrite them, and that is a huge undertaking. Since you were not able
to access my two previous attachments, I doubt that you would be able
to access a zip file, but maybe I'll try attachments again when I get a
chance.
