Super Bricks - The game needs DOSBox to work with correct pallete(VESA compatibility problem); the game can start with VDMSound and VESA option but not in the correct palette

Star Wars Card Game - The game uses VESA graphic mode so you might have problems running the game in Windows(I didn't in Windows XP; it might depend on your video graphic card)

Space War - The game might need VDMSound in Windows 2000/NT(MIDI drivers recognition problem)

ThunderBugs 2 - The game needs DOSBox(runtime error is reported if you run it in Windows)

Tank Wars Gold Edition - The game uses VESA hi-res graphic so it's a bit unstable (starting and exiting) to run it in Windows

Troopers - In Windows the graphic is not displayed properly though the game is playable; DOSBox solves the problem; the problem might depend on your hardware(I suspect it's a problem with reading emulated XMS or EMS memory in Windows)

The Little Pixy 2 - The game might need DOSBox because the programm has problems in recognizing XMS memory even if you allocate it with a shortcut
