GEM wasn't even an OS, just a shell.

Sorry Aloone I got ahead of myself but I STILL can't play 32bit DOS games in XP or 2000 even on a FAT32 system they run like SHIT...

Some will run but I know what you mean, Windows XP 64-bit edition won't run any 16-bit software at all and yes this includes 32-bit DOS games as they had 16-bit stubs at the beginning to load the DOS extender.
To get round this problem you can, boot into DOS mode if you're using 9x, create a separate partition and run FreeDOS if your on 2k/XP or try an emulator like DOSBox (which is slow) or VMWare, DOSEmu is also good for Linux.

I know but the first two were 16-bit not 8-bit, they couldn't execute 8-bit code without an emulatior.

--- Quote from: Xeniczone ---I would agree with this. But only if your talking about the 2d games. some of the earlier 3d game I hated doom wolfsten marathon (i could never figure out how to exit the game).
Doom-ok i guess but you know kinda oldish
Wolfstein- Yeh got throw the first 10 levels and I just got bored
Marathon- Probably the best because it has mouse support yeh yeh. But with no jump and stuff it can only rot.

What?!
No-one can say they hate Doom. It's a classic!
how old are you?? :-p
Orethrius:
Waitwaitwait... Marathon? NO JUMP?!?!?
*loads up Basilisk to check*
Yes it did. Given, it wasn't exactly STELLAR, but you could jump short platforms.
It's better than nothing.

I'm 15 and i found marathon much better then doom.
1. Mouse support when doom was release I do beleave x86's didn't have mice. even if they did you couldn't use the mouse.
2. More colors. Doom was a old 16bit game sad colors.
3. No macintosh. Macintosh is the better os and doom wasn't for it :(

Sorry, it has been a while seens I have played it. You should try it on a real Macintosh rather then basklisk. It will run much better. You need a classic os like mac os 9 or 8. You can get one of ebay for about 100 or less dollars.
