Please send me some information about xxxx joystick... :technical data, price list etc"
|

Please note that I can't answer questions about specific games or products.
Try the publisher's website, they usually have patches, and a Technical SUPPORT area.

How do I buy the games?
|
|
|
Can you email me a copy of Chuck Yeager's Air Combat?
|
|
Sorry, but no.
I only keep copies I have purchased for my personal use and research for the Museum. If there is an old
sim you want, email the publisher - if enough people request them they may reissue the sim!
Doing a Google search for
"abandonware" may turn up some results too.

"Can you send me a copy of the key commands to run game x? "
|
|
If you have lost the keycard or manual, contact the manufacturer. I'm sure you have a legal copy of the sim, but believe it or not there are some folks who don't care to support the industry and actively distribute pirated games. Most manufacturers can supply replacement manuals if you provide proof of purchase.

A friend gave me a copy of XXXX flight sim. Can you send me the instructions?
|
|
It's good for friends to share an interest. Show your support for your friends in the gaming industry by purchasing a copy of the game for yourself and the industry can continue to grow. Who knows, maybe one day you can work as a game programmer!
Most games have free demos you can download and try before you buy.

How do I run DOS games?
|
|
DOS games used to be very hard to set up in many cases. Under windows 95 and 98 the older games will often run nicely in a DOS window. On the other hand they may not run without extensive tweaking, or not at all! Windows XP is pretty good at running older games.
