Be very careful. To the best of my knowledge, talking about piracy and warez is a violation of forum rules.

Probably. Even if you could get the games to run in XP, you'd probably need a program like VDMSound to get sound working. DOSBox will kill two birds with one stone.
Its not illegal. when the ERA or somehtign hasnt protected it. it son abdandonia, its perfectly legal.
htanks for the help, btu i dotn quite understand.
Abandonware is not a proper legal concept. Unless the copyright owner of the software has explicitly released it into the public domain, United States law currently states that copyright applies until 70 years after the death of the author of the work (or 95 years in the case of a corporate work).
Just to avoid any type of mixup, I'm going to go ahead and close this thread :)
