the good old games

Hello everyone. Lately I've been trying to get old DOS games to work on my computer. Things like Raptor: Call of the Shadow, and Biomenace, Halloween Harry and all those good old games from back in the day. However, I've been having a problem as the sound does not seem to be able to be configured properly( or work at all). Also, does anyone know where to download full versions of these old games( theyre so old i know they often give em away now). Any help is appreciated, thanks

oregon trail...i remember that game...it was sorta lame to play but at the time very innovative!...

@ ++speed++freak+ - dude, that's the game that i learned to drive a stick on......for real, it had a full arcade cabinet and a clutch and stick shift and a ignition.... everything you needed to realistcly drive a manual!!
it wouldn't even turn over without the transmission in neutral and your foot on the clutch!!!!

GOD, what a memory!!

@ burnstyle - dude i loved playin that damn game oregon trail while we were in computer class in like 5-6th grade i would always have a few people die off from the flu or have my wagon float away in the river!
MORE COOL MEMORIES!
if you find it i want that game too!
thx
