Lately I've gotten the itch to play Star Wars: DroidWorks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Droid_Works) again, a game I greatly enjoyed when I was younger. Unfortunately, this game is at least 20 years old by now! :smalleek:

I know with the power of emulators and stuff old games may be played on a computer, but I've also heard that DroidWorks has problems that even using an emulator can't fix if the computer runs over 100 Mhz (i.e. any modern computer like mine), but also there seems to be folks on the web who say they can get it to work, so I'm left confused in the middle.

Could I somehow find and get this game to work via emulators and enjoy it again, or is it simply too old to work without buying a used copy, rebuilding an old computer and finding an old copy of Windows 95?

I'm pretty sure you can set up DosBox to limit the CPU power available to it, but I don't know if it can run a game like that without some major tinkering.
