[game_edu] Readings, Libraries & Copyright

[Dan Carreker]

Years ago I worked for a major game publisher that had there entire Windows library (DOS to ME) all on one PC, fully playable for their CS department.  I do believe it was duel boot, but it did allow access to every PC game they ever made.  I also remember setting it up was extremely tricky, but it is doable in a lab environment.

  It's worth remembering that a lot of classic games aren't playable today either because they require a console most people won't have access too or because they're PC games that don't run on Vista. Even with DosBox, many classics such as FallOut and Ultima IV are unplayable. This is an area where studying classic movies is probably easier than classic games
