CMD Prompt Type Games

When I try to play some of the older original, Windows 3.x type games, such
as Castle of the Winds, all I ever get is a "This system does not support
full screen mode."

Anyone know whats up?

I use DOS Box all the time. Now is a good time to learn this if you already
have not heard about this excellent DOS Emulator.
