I have had similar problems with ultima 7a (black gate & forge of virtue) on my old pc (AMD 200Mhz MMX processor). With a shareware version of a program called moslo I was able to play it though.

I would strongly advise against the moslo program. That thing completely crashed my PC when I tried it, forcing me to reinstall the OS. I was using it to try to get the old Ultima games to work.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

It seems that I may be the only one who is playing Civ 1 on his old Amiga 500+. Now that was a monster. Also on my desk is a P133 with win95. That runs all my old favs too. And a beast of a machine (being delivered on Wednesday) for playing SMAC without waiting for my 100 auto formers....

But the most fun is digging out Syndicate or Wing Commander or Colonisation on the old Amiga. Its 12 years old and goes like a dream.

I've got nearly the exact same computer, mines a Zeos....lol. Kept it stored away for years, then realized I can still run Colonization on it. And a couple other older games....

Gotta find my original Pentium 133, so I can play games like Red Baron or Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe- both of them great games...

EDIT - Oh I can't forget Wing Commander, Wing Commander 2, those were some of the most entertaining games for me ever!
