Nox is an underrated gauntlet style rpg:

How do these games install/configure, go you need to use dosbox etc or is it streamlined to work with modern OSs, which is what I'm really wanting to pay for.

dosbox is integrated, I mean that it launches via dosbox and sets it up when you launch it with the desktop shortcut

Excellent, I'll give it ago.


edit:

tried it out, got populous 2, just as I remembered. 

The website, download, install and play works very smoothly; I shall have to buy some more, dragon pass looks good.

GOG has "pick 5, pay 10". http://www.gog.com/pick_5_pay_10

Nothing too awesome, but I used it to snag up some of the adventure games.

Matrix is having its usual sale. So instead of wildly overpriced, they go down to sorta overpriced.

Fuck Matrix games.  They've charged me double every time I tried to buy them.  I don't want to have to call up their collecting agency and my bank every time I buy a computer game.

I've never heard of someone double charged as much as you.

Bought Knights of the Old Republic 2 for $2.50 and The Walking Dead series for $12.50. Those are the two I've been waiting for. That's it for me this steam sale.
