Happy Dance of Yayness

Over the years, my family has accumulated a number of games for the computer. Several binders' worth of games.
This year, mom decided to start going through the games, weeding out the games that are just too easy, the ones noone would play, and the ones that don't even work anymore.
I've decided that I don't like computer games. Unlike video games that will work as long as you have the game system, it takes very little for a computer game to not work on a different computer.
There's a pile of games that gave error messages that's like 2 inches thick now.

Anyways, onto the yayness.
Yesterday Mom was testing games, and she came across several that weren't working on the computer. My Petz games for one - Catz didn't work at all, Dogz did but we no longer had the game code. *sigh*
Two of my favorite games ever, that I used to play for hours, weren't working on the computer: Museum Madness and Ecoquest: Search for Cetus. (It was really no surprise that DOS-based games wouldn't work real great on a Vista OS. *laughs*)
I took them up to my laptop, to see if they'd happen to work on it. To my shock and awe and happyness, BOTH of the games worked! So now I can play my favoritest games in the world in my own room. *grins*

My brother now wants to borrow my laptop, though. Museum Madness is one of his favorite games, too. *laughs*
