You need a true DOS based computer that's fairly well updated to handle the new game levels for that. i.e.. Even though the game was designed for a 386 with about 8 meg of ram the new WAD files often require at least a P200 with 32 meg of ram to keep from slowing to a crawl..

I know about the 'Real DOS' issue
I wrote multi-user POS application in Paradox DOS (used a Netware 4.2) server that needed real RS232 ports, the ability to shell out to a true DOS session to FAX orders (DOS FAX Pro). There is a P3-800 w/W98 under my desk, just in case I need to resurrect old data (the business is done/ closed.)
