Master of Orion II under Windows Virtual PC–part 2

A long time ago I blogged about playing Master of Orion II under Virtual PC.  In this post I talked about using the DOS version of Master of Orion II.

Recently I was asked if it was possible to run the Windows version of Master of Orion II under Windows Virtual PC.  I am not entirely sure why you would you would want to do this – as the DOS version continues to work fine – and it is widely known that Master of Orion II was written first on DOS and then ported to Windows (and that the Windows port was not the best quality).

Regardless I thought I would try it out:

And it worked perfectly.  Even the various videos and clips played smoothly.

Cheers,
