I'm trying to get an old (Wild Tangent Spacerocks) game to work, but before I try to ask any specific questions I was hoping to get a few general basic questions answered first....or sent to where I should ask them. How do I determine if it was a DOS or Windows game. (I was told if it could be played as a stand alone game from it folder, as opposed to being installed, it is a DOS game.....True or False?) It uses Java and internet explorer to play...I guess I just answered my own question. If it uses IE it must be a Windows game...right? Last general question...Should Java be backwards compatible?
I'm hoping with answers to these questions I can search the forum to find my solution, or at least ask the right questions about my specific problem.
Thanks for helping a beginner to old games
