    Detroit

    There was a game for computer about 15-20 years ago called Detroit. It was on floppy disk (showing how old it is). The game is you basically run the car industry making ur own choices bout wat you resaerch.

    I have recently aquired the game but it wont work on my computer.
    If any one has any information on the game or if they have it, it would be appreciated.
    I want to die in my sleep like my Grandma, not screaming like the other 3 people in her car.

    There are 10 types of people in this world. People who understand binary and people who don't.

    On an ancient CD i have a demo version. It ran fine for me...

    As you will find out,many old DOS games wont work. Somehow Microsoft DOS is not compatible with Windos Xp.

    There is a difficult way to work around it,using Linux though. But its not very easy...

    Three cheers for the magnificent Microsoft again

    I downloaded it from the internet some time ago and it worked fine for me on XP. Maybe try some emulators?
    Oh, and the game's not THAT old. It's from 1994.
    It's not denial. I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.
