I liked the mentioning of Harpoon by the year of release I still enjoy playing it. IMO, 80s and 90s were golden years of gaming. Since the abilities of computers were limited, developers went with game logic all the way as they could to bring attention. Then it started to go around all graphics...
I also stockpiled Battleground Series for "in case of need", ISOs of which are available at archive.org. |

Too bad you can not get these to work on new OS's without having to use emulators. |

While DosBox can be awkward to setup in its raw form, I use the D-Fend Reloaded frontend and this makes setup of the games a breeze. After only a couple of minor tweaks away from default DosBox settings all of the games run perfectly. |

I've been trying to get this running on VirtualBox, but I need a copy of Windows 95 to make it work. I'm having trouble finding a free downlaod Win 95. |

To play V4V and WaW you just need DosBox, although I'm guessing that you're wanting to use VirtualBox for far more than just playing these games. I have no experience with VirtualBox but from their website I don't even see Win 95 as being supported and Win 98 runs slow. I still have my old Win 98 floppy disks. |

Also, how do I get larger screen resolution? I went into the config file and changed fullresolution to different sizes but it keeps displaying at original size. I also played around with fullscreen and windowresolution, but they all keep coming up the same. Am I missing something? |
