DOTT runs in DOS and is MUCH better programmed and MUCH more fun.
Journeyman is a decent port of a Mac game, although the graphics are
rather badly dithered. Has GREAT sound f/x, however. Far too slow for my
tastes, with limited replay value.

I just got Castles II: Siege & Conquest and think it's fantastic! Runs in
DOS and features: 4+ hours of digitized speech; 28 minutes of FULL SCREEN
video (taken from BBC documentary on castles); numerous movie clips;
20-minute spoken game tutorial; Redbook CD audio; and much more.
Outstanding multimedia game.
