There's a new poll at http://www.Maktos.com asking what features a DOS role
playing game would need to have, in order to get YOU to play it.

I've played dozens of DOS based RPGs... :)

I would probably play one, but I probably wouldn't pay much for one,
because I want to make sure I can also play it in Win2000, NT4 etc.

I hav e before and I own many. But I must say that there are very few
computers with DOS anymore I think. And that Fake Windows DOS doesn't
count.

I won't mind even text graphics, if the game has an excellent battle
system and party development system, a good interface, and reasonable
scenario and story.

Well, how do you mean? Like one of those pure text RPGs? Well, sure, why

I prefer good old DOS games. The other day I was going through Wing
Commander 2 just for a laugh
