YEEEES!!! SOMEONE ACTUALLY ASKED THIS QUESTION!!! To play DOS based games IN Windows 2000 IS NOT POSSIBLE! ONLY IN WINDOWS 95/98 ONLY! Unless someone develops a DirectX patch for Windows 2000.

DOS based games work in Windows 2000. Only games that use exotic memory managers doesn´t work.

 

You find under downloads a trial version of SoundFX NT which enable sound and joystick support in DOS games.

Also, any game that attempts any "unsupported" direct hardware access will fail...
