Oh, and fooling with Norton Commander, which I don't know if that's required for all games but it was for Discworld.
I had to copy the entire CD to my hard drive and then set things up to mount the directory the CD copy was in as a separate drive like it was reading the files from the CD drive... man it was complicated. Plus the game itself had to be patched and tweaked just to run on a post-DOS operating system.
I still remember how proud I was when finally figured it all out and made that config file that I could click on and it loaded everything and then BOOM the game was up and running perfectly according to my specifications. And then I assigned an icon to it from the DW game files - The Luggage! - and put it right on my desktop, it was so awesome.
Of course I never actually
played the game for more than 10 minutes, but still...
