I was wondering if there was a way to make the old computer games work on my computer, namely Star Trek 25th anniversary and Star Trek Judgement Rights. Thanks |

I dunno exactly how old those are, but I guess they're early 90s?
There is a program called DosBox which is basically an emulator that emulates an older computer environment.
Setting up should be fairly easy if you just go through the readme and evt. check out the requirements for the game(s) you want to play in it.
I haven't touched it in a while, so I don't remember it all ontop of my head, but everything should be explained in the readme fairly straightforward, I think. (Atleast it used to be rather simple in the older versions) |

Yeah the Guides at Vogons are very good. I had no clue how to run dos box correctly until I read one of their guides. |

I suggest that you get a DOSBox frontend, D-Fend, for example. That should simplify things a bit. |
