Ok I have the quest for glory collection.
I installed 1 and 3 and got those running with dos box and patched those up so they won't glitch to hell and back (Qfg 1 remake has long load times if anyone knows how to fix that I would be grateful)
4 I hear you can run in dosbox but I can only get it to run under windows. Its the cd full voice version.

Also whats a good front end for dosbox?

Its been a while but...should be able to install the dos version from the cd, make sure its the dos version and not the windows version, should have an easier time.

Does the dos version have voice?

Yeah definitely, to my memory there isnt a QFG4 that doesnt have voice. (unless you turn voices off of course), but make sure youre using full installation too

I really wish they would make a dosbox style app for windows games. Thief one wants me to play it SOOOOOOOOOO bad! So does qfg4... I have no idea how I would go about installing the dos version.
