I just finished building a Win98SE box (Gateway P4 1.8 gHz with 512 RAM) for my treasured MicroProse sims and other games that you simply cannot fully enjoy via emulators and ports. I have the same issue with not being able to close except by using Alt+F4. When I do, I get an error box stating the game has performed an illegal operation and must be shut down. Otherwise, everything works fine.
I have a Diamond Monster 3D II voodoo card so I can use Glide, too! I'm also going to install EAW and a bunch of other DOS and old windows games. Jane's LongBow 2 should look particularly good on this computer.
