Old PC and retro games

I want to play some old games like X-COM: UFO Defense, or Wasteland, but I don\'t know if they would work on my modern PC.  Don\'t you have to install something to slow down the processor to get some of these programs to run correctly?

I dont know really. Usually I just change the compatibility mode to win95 in order to make the game playable

Underdogs and sites like abandonia aren\'t illegal. They aren\'t piracy either. Same reasons mame roms are legal. It\'s sort of like public domain now because no comapny owns the liscense to distribute the software anymore.

Have you ever seen those 99cent dvds at places like target? Those are actually public domain...
