Trip down (Microsoft Windows) memory (386) lane

Just a bit of fun, but with the imminent launch of Windows 10, we had a timely requirement to boot up a virtual PC running MS DOS and Windows 3.11.

Hands up who remembers squeezing every kb of memory out of their 386 memory manager, or configuring the marque screen saver.



There was some disappointment to find the computer we virtualised didn't have QBasic installed, but we did find that you can play Gorillas via flash at this site: http://www.kongregate.com/games/moly/gorillas-bas

Just time to exit Windows and park the hard disk heads. shutdown /s
