An archeological expedition into the boxes in my garage produced these relics. Now, if I can get a USB adaptor cord and find a functioning 3.5"drive ...

I still have my first Pentium, it work and has a 3.5" functioning disk drive.. [:D]

some weeks ago I played Carrier Strike with it: my first SSI title bought in Chicago in the 1992 summer during my first vacation in the USA: sweet memories.. [8|]

Ah, another collector of obsolete software. I still have some of that stuff. However, I sold the TRS80. [;)]

Not so much collected, as hoarded. I'd forgotten they were there. I also found some SSI "20 great games" CD's, haven't got around to looking at them yet. And windows95 & 98 installation disks.

Needless to say all of these things probably need dosbox to run. It does a good job, so I haven't explored the possibilities of partitioning off an 80Mb slice of hard drive and setting it up as a pretend 486 pc to run these things in a true dos environment. If you can even do that.

Wow, Ian - as the man said, "Good on yer, mate!".

You might want to try Ebay, I got my hands on a 3.5" floppy drive (with a USB cord already attached) that way.

I think I might have a 3.5 laying around. Man, those were good days for me of gaming. I still have a bunch of those RUN 5 magazines. Clash of Steel was fun.

Just thinking, if you have the boxes for the games they , might be collector items. I still have the war in russia game and the V for victory games. I'll. Send pictures

Boxes & manuals certainly increase value of the game. But it is hard to find buyers for such old games. Doubly so for the niche war game genre. Haven't seen many (read: any) war game reviews made by LGR and JesusMetalRocks (YouTube channels).

I'm a collector of both "board-wargames" and "computer old wargames": I can assure you that there is a thriving market out there for both the genre.

especially for the first one.

ps: YouTube suck.. [8D]
