    They both did support software graphics modes though, so that may be why you thought they had Dos modes possibly?

    try screamer rally. You need a p2 at least and a high end vga card to run 640x480 software mode. There was a voodoo2 patch for the best experience.

    The 11th Hour and Wing Commander Privateer were two games that were always a pain in the ass to get to work smoothly for me. Also El-Fish was a massive glutton that would take hours to render fish unless you had a solid system.

    What's with all these games needing 4+ megabytes of RAM? I thought 640k was more than enough for everybody.

    386 Protected Mode and expanded memory changed everything.
