Hey, I know it sounds hipster but I want to play Doom or some of my Nintendo games from the 90s so bad sometimes. Do you know how can I do it on my laptop? (Toshiba Satellite L300, Windows Vista)

DOSBox, or Steam. The old games run fine when you buy and launch them from Steam. Doom, Wolfenstein, Quake, Heretic, etc. As for Nintendo, that's a legal grey area involving emulators that might not be ok to discuss here, not sure.

Hey, I forgot about the thread for 5 long months, wow. I should take something for memory.


Anyway, sorry for causing confusion - I didn't mean to discuss any illegal kinds of games. There are some emulators though, I browsed through some things, but I don't know which of the ways to play are fine and legal. I satisfied my nostalgic urge to play with some flash online games finally.
