i had an amiga so there were both games to play, and they just worked (don't try and install them to the HD though)

same but I had a huge amount of errors across my disk collection.

"don't go in that doorway, the disc has an error"
"but we need to go there to get past level"
"yeah I just play the game up to this bit then do something else"

this menu option will give you maximum EMS
this menu option will give you maximum XMS
these two are the same as the above with the MSCDEX driver loaded in case you need the CD ROM
same as above plus mouse driver
this menu option is optimized for Tie Fighter (joystick in midi port)
this one is for Wing Commander III
this one will start windows (3.11)
