Ultima 7 in Windows?
trotski writes "In its day, Ultima 7 was one of the most complex and detailed RPG's ever made. Lets put it this way, in 1992 it required 20 mb of hard drive space and a 386 processor; cutting edge equipment that at the time retailed at well over $2000. Unfortunatly, until now getting Utlima 7 to run properly under win9X or worse, win2K or XP was heart-breaking. Fortunatly, someone has designed a utility that allows you to run this program under all versions of Windows as well as Linux! Very exciting for people out there who want to play this classic." Actually, Linux support seems to be only hypothetical at this point; along with the link to download the code is a note that says "Anyone who wishes to study the source code, or to port it to Linux or any other OS, is welcome to download this file."
The scourge of the WWW: embedded MIDI files!
Er, actually, I kinda dig this one. In fact, it's the only embedded MIDI I've ever replayed.

Who wants to reboot to play a game?
That would be like doing all your productive stuff in one operating system and all your game playing in anot-
Uhm, nevermind.
Robots are everywhere, and they eat old people's medicine for fuel.
If you were indeed the one responsible for the memory configuration of U7, I wouldn't mention it too loudly around here. :P
