I see that one can buy UW1 and UW2 on cd, but will they run in Windows XP?

If not with XP per se, try it with DOSBox. http://dosbox.sf.net/

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/comp_list.php?letter=U - both Underworlds are listed as supported.

To get you started with DOSBox, read the DOSBox readme and the following:

http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=8933

or simply download the attached dosbox.conf and copy it into your DOSBox directory. You should then copy/install your dos games to C:\dosgames, otherwise it won't work (or edit the path settings at the end of the .conf file).

Change emulation speed with Ctrl-F11 & Ctrl-F12.

Have fun!

There are demos of UW1/2 at youtube and they say they did them using dosbox. Dosbox is suuuuuch a nice program!

I remember a few years ago I was desperately trying to find UW 1 on the net, I thought that when I found one to download (I already had one on a CD I bought), I would also find a way to play it. I found Sir Cabirus' patch, but it still didn't work on my xp, so I resurrected an old pc, and it worked! (although with only the system speaker). Then I spent months trying to locate anything, and I found VDMSound, but it didn't do any good. A bit more of searching, I found VOGONS and there I found a reference to Dosbox 0.61. I got it, my happiness was unmeasurable. I played it back to front. Evil After that I got Arx Fatalis (about 1 year ago) and enjoyed it too.

I still like it so much that I would only play if I'm desperate. Such a good game can't be overused (I have a pretty good memory for spoilers). I even transfered almost all the wealth from the underworld to a little storage room in LV2, along with a lot of pain. I am currently playing Uw2 (2nd time), very good too. Tongue
