Quick question: does anyone know what are the current ways to get Wizardry, Might and Magic, and Ultima series to work on XP? Aside reinstalling Win 98, that is :)

I was planning on getting collections of the series towards the end of the year, and i was wondering if there are any specific game emulators, front ends, or general applications that make it run - or even remakes of the titles, for instance?

DOSBox and VirtualPC are pretty good emulators (do a Google search on them). I'm not sure about the Wiz and Might and Magic games, but most of the Ultima series are getting Windows ports made for them.

I second DOSBox - there are a few games that aren't fully supported, but it's run every game I've used it with. For Windows 95 games usually just checking the "Compatible with Windows 95(or whatever it's labeled)" in properties will make it run.
