Recently aquired King's Quest 6 and Full Throttle. They both installed fine under '95 compatibility mode(save for Full Throttle not detecting my sound card or something), but they won't actually run. and that makes me a saaad panda...any way to get them to run?

Full Throttle will run under SCUMMVM - www.scummvm.org
As far as Kings Quest 6 here's a forum thread about it - http://forums.adventuregamers.com/showthread.php?t=9339

Look, for everything old enough to be pure Dos, GET dosbox, PLEASE:

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

Read their .txt file and use your Dos Skillz. If you need any help with it whatsoever, I have a tutorial I wrote for a very "dos-dumb" friend who loved DoTT as much as I did...

I recommend dosbox over summvm. It works like a charm.

MC, man, I hope you aren't referring to me on the DOTT thing. I only needed to know the command to mount the cd! :-P

Got Full Throttle to work with SCUMVM, but still trying to get KQ6 to run with the help of the people on the Adventure Forums.
