BTW, I have been playing the hell out of AoR over the past few weeks using DosBox and a CD I purchased from eBay. And it's as enjoyable now as it was in the late 90s.

I helped Norm playtest Rifles (I still have the Beta disc he sent me). Yes, I did get it to run a few years ago, but, the sound and all just was too clunky for my likes. One thing I asked Norm for back then was to be able to save your individual OBs so you could call them up later to fight a different foe. I requested this far too late in development, so, it was no go. lol. So I would like to see another tactical game like that set in the 19th century.

John

Oh, that's cool! In 1996, I was in fourth grade.

Personally, I'm waiting for someone to remake MULE.

I don't think so. Try Googling 'C64 emulator' and see what comes up.
I like those SSG and SSI games on my still working Atari 800.

No, you'll need a c64 emulator for c64 games. Kinda like dosbox for modern day pc's but not quite.

Goto this site http://www.ccs64.com/ for the emulator and

this site http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=2435&d=18&h=0 for many of the games.
