You'll never guess what I did today. We had this big faculty assembly thing, so I had the important task of making sure every participant signs onto a registration sheet before entering the room. So basically, I was standing at a desk and told people "You must register!" before letting them proceed. Sounds oddly familiar, doesn't it?

Finding solution online is an art form sometimes. There have been cases where I couldn't find something, gave up, and then found it later on by accident. In a way this is what happened with critual machines - gave up on VBox, only to accidentally learn about PCem from a guy on Facebook. The rest, as they say, is history.

I have only one 16-bit thing (for the sake of compatibility with Windows 3.1), an Indiana Jones game, which is also the predecessor of Yoda Stories (which, mercifully, is 32-bit). But PCem is still very convenient for installing stuff that won't install on a 64-bit OS. I have already figured out how to manually install pretty much everything, but it surely is more convenient to use the original installers. If you get in the mood to try Win98, feel free to ask for help if you need any. Installing Win98 is one of those vivid 1990's memories that I have... though the first OS I installed completely on my own was XP (on the day I got my laptop in 2005).

Yay, you started Diablo. Love this game, spent tons of time on it (even more with its sequel, which I love almost as much as Doom) when I should have been studying or doing other important things, heh heh. It has some similarities to Arena, but a lot of major differences too. Randomization is a significant feature - dungeon layouts, items, quests, pretty much everything is different every time you play. There is lots of behind-the-scenes math going on, though it's not really necessary to be successful at this game. If you have questions, you can aks me (I'll avoid spoilers, of course).

Just a little note - it seems to me that you're using an older version of Diablo (latest version is 1.09). Patching isn't mandatory at all (unlike Arena, which is unbeatable without patches), but it can fix a lot of bugs, which is never a bad thing.
