Wait play the game? I am fiddling my config.sys and autoexec.bat just right and making sure I could get to 610k. Using 4DOS to have a pick a path adventure of which configuration to load as it was starting up to run each game. Then I might play a game here and there.

I definitely remember the collection of boot disks I used to load the right autoexec.bat/config.sys settings for the Ultima and Wing Commander games, and how long I spent tuning these settings. I was just a kid then, but I remember the whole exercise being pretty complicated!

I remember getting "The Complete Ultima VII" on CD and never figuring out how to get it running. I think I've still got the box, but I think the disc has been missing for years. I bought it on GOG some time ago, though.

Haha this XD... I couldn't figure it out on my own and asked my Mom for help, luckily she was able to get it running for me :D

I recall that it was possible to squeeze a disk cache in too, which made a nice difference for performance.

Oh yeah, I had to unload the CD driver and move the mouse driver to himem just for this...

the game didn't run with EMS. You needed XMS
