    I've been wanting to buy all of the original Warcraft games for a while (not WoW). They've been really hard to find, at least the first and second, but I finally found all of them, including the expansions on Ebay. However, I am concerned as to whether I will be able to run such old games on my computer, I'm primarily concerned about I and II. I am running Vista, and all my other specs are in my sig. Please let me know if I will be able to run them, or if there's any thing special I need to get to be able to run them. Thanks.

    You'll need Dosbox for I and II. That's what I use, both for vista and XP.

    III runs on vista.

    DOSBox is a free DOS emulator.
