Time to install dos box and replay Master of Magic, again.

  That game (and x-com) helped me learn autoexe.bat and config.sys. I had to do all manner of memory, DMA, & IRQ fiddling to load a mouse and soundcard. Probably why I'm in tech today.

    Getting the right command-line java options for combinations of Minecraft mods seems to be the modern equivalent

    A trick I learned is that if you started it with wizards.exe instead of mom (don't remember if it was .com or .exe) it would skip the intro video which used about 60k more RAM than the rest of the game. Also, nwcdex (the novell CD-ROM driver) could load into either EMS or XMS while the microsoft version could not.

  No need to even install dosbox, archive.org has a JS powered emulator right in your browser. Just press play.
