 I happen to enjoy playing corny-looking games, but I happen to own
 original copies and was playing them when they were the latest thing.
 I still have Master of Orion I close at hand, plus a few others. 
 Take a look at the Mac version if you can find it. 
That might be a little bit obscure, but I'll look for it.  I never did
much Mac gaming, mostly Risk and NetTrek (and the occasional Infocom
game).

  ?I forget just how large
 of a screen it supports, but it's most of a 1024x1280 display (not all). 
Nice.

  ?Same with Warlords II, while on DOS you're
limited to 640x480 for both. 
Yeah.  I remember playing a lot of DOS games, and they held their own
until 800x600 became the norm.

Thanks for the tip.
