Greetings all,

I know the answer to this question but have to ask it nonetheless !

I have just dug out of the depths of wargame miscellany the following:

Battleground Gettysburg 1863 Talonsoft
Battleground Ardennes 1944 Talonsoft
The Battleground Collection: Nap. in Russia/Prelude to Waterloo/Waterloo/Age of Sail Talonsoft
Western Front Talonsoft
Eastern Front Talonsoft
Eastern Front II Talonsoft
Eastern Front Mission Pack Talonsoft
Rising Sun Talonsoft
Operational Art of War x 2 (1 Talonsoft & 1 Talonsoft & Empire Interactive)
An additional 5 wargames by SSI

These are all on CD from way back in the day, no docs or rule books anymore.
Most appear to require Win 95/98 & Pentium 90/100. I doubt I have played them in past 20 odd years.

Question ? Apart from finding a functioning Win 95/98 Pentium PC with CD drive :shock: is there any way to get these CD's to run.

I know....stupid question, but I'm just a Cadet :lol:

I use an external CD ROM and connect it via USB. As far as the compatibility for Windows, I believe you are still able to set what version of Windows you want it to operate under in the program file.

That sounds like worth a shot, much appreciated, thanks.
