But why should I have to? My consoles are plug in and play. PC games are not so much better than console games to make me go through the additional hassle of Dosbox or dual operating systems.

I haven't just bought a new computer and I don't own Vista. My fiance does however and getting old games to run on it is a joke. Age of Mythology specifically said it wouldn't work on Vista but it does while Empire Earth and Glory of the Roman Empire didn't mention it on the packaging but will not work.

Oh, so when you plug in your Wii, you can slip your old SNES cartriges in the disc drive and boot it up?  Please, console backwards compatability isn't even comparable to PC backwards compatability.  Is it more of a hassle to reboot your PC and select a different OS or to pull your SNES out of the closet, unplug your Wii, and your cable hookup and plug it in?
