It seems as if Microsoft is pulling the plug on MS Flight Simulator.

Existing copies of MSFS will continue to run indefinitely. Software
doesn't
wear out.

Yep, all the software for DOS and an EGA display, not to mention the
Apple II stuff is still running, assuming you can find hardware that
still runs outside a museum.

Emulators, my good man! You can find them for nearly any system. There
are plenty of good Apple II emulators out there, good enough to run
pretty much any software made for them. There are even emulators for old
DOS machines that will run in Windows that will do a much better job of
running old software than Windows itself will: check out DOSBox for that
one.

I've even found CDC 6600 emulators!


Man I was just digging that I can play Duckhunt on my computer!
