I tried, on multiple occasions, to get Darklands to run on Windows 95,
over a period of many years, but I never could free enough memory. Then
a few years ago, I started fervently wishing for an MS-DOS emulator,
similar to the Amiga emulators that are available as freeware. Then I
heard about DOXBox, downloaded it, installed it, and it solved my
problem. Darklands runs fine, with sound and everything.
