Old May 13th, 2004, 04:39 AM        Not Enough EMS :(
So, while digging through a forsaken draw in my room, I found an old game from way back.
One of the first games on CD-ROM, designed to run in MS-Dos.
Warlords II...DELUXE
I was almost jumping with joy! I had found the game that had started me on Computer Games. An old School, Turn based, Stratergy game that is alot alike Risk, but cooler.
I popped it in, and tried to get it to run. But it seems I'm missing a key factor. Something called, Expanded Memory System.
A little thing the Software/Hardware Giants of yesteryear cooked up. Lotus-IBM-Microsoft.

Now, here my problem. EMS went out of style the minute people figured out how to have more then 1MB of RAM. So does anyone, in all your fast techno knowledge, know of any sort of program that can mimic the EMS, and provide me with a way to play my game?
