  1. Awesome! Thank you! (*immediately archiving and storing for safe keeping*)
  2. I'll look into some other abandonware sites. The links from "ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de", which that site linked to, either didn't work (timed out, even with a proxy [thought it might have been blocked by my isp]) or were detected as malicious by chrome and my AV (possibly a false positive, but you never know with abandonware sites).
  3. Anyone able to kick up some links with the old windows versions of exile 1 and 2? (all but the links to the mac versions are dead links)
  4. 64 bit versions of windows 10 had the files that allowed compatibility for 16 bit software removed. To work around this, I installed Windows 3.11 inside DOSBox (on windows 10 64 bit), then installed Exile 3 inside windows 3.11... This is a faster way of being able to boot up and play exile 3. (I've had problems with playing exile 3 on virtual machines...P.S. I would suggest VMware or some other virtual machine software other than Virtual Box. VBox is slow as heck and not very good software in my opinion.) I searched for a download of the Windows 3.11 3.5" OEM floppy .img files online (there are several abandonware sites out there hosting them). There should be 6 .img files for Windows 3.11 and you can use 7-zip or winrar to open them up do dump all the files in a single Win31 folder. I used this install guide for Windows 3.11 in DOSBOX: vogons_Win3.x_install_guide_link I'll try and check back every once in a while to see if anyone has any questions.
