Using an Old Game

[Guest]

I am the legal, registered owner of 'Return of Arcade' for Windows 95. It
came on three floppy disks. I have an old, upgraded system running WIndows
XP Pro and it runs great. I am getting a new system WITHOUT a floppy drive.
How can I transfer the installation from the floppy disks so that I can play
the games?

1. Copy the floppies to a directory.
2. Make an image of the floppies with Winimage.
3. Get a floppy drive for your new computer. Either built-in or USB.

Copy to a CD - *some* floppy games will let you copy them all to a folder
and just install from there. Depends on the game.
