Cool...my dad mentioned this to me a few days ago but I hadn't got round to investigating.

I tried a few games, a lot of the controls didn't work properly. Anyone had better success at playing anything?

As you know, the recent Windozes don' t run DOS, they emulate.
Have you tried with DOS Box ?

I found using the numeric keypad works with either numlock on or off, depending on the game. In spme cases the mouse works if you 'calibrate' it by taking it to the corners of the screen to push it overtop of your mouse. Though a few just don't move at the same speed and will never align.. there are a few games that are very laggy, and some which don't load at all. Just up to you to try.. and if you feel like, comment on their failings if you find them in the hopes they are one day fixed.

Er, did you even read the page? They use an in-browser DOS emulator based on DOS box.

Sorry, I had read "in-browser", then forgot.
