Matt_Hazard: Well, like I said, if you REALLY want the DOS version, I'll send you the files as you mentioned you did indeed purchase the game (I'm not just going to give them out for free to those who haven't purchased the game from GOG). I have Lords of the Realm: Royal Edition on CD. And yes, that includes Lords of the Realm CD edition (GOG's is the floppy disc version).
So, if you want the files, just ask. I'll .zip them to you.
herecomethe2000: If you could that would be fantastic! But in a general sense, the dos version has more use then just windows compatibility. :)
were there any other advantages of the cd edition over the floppy for lotr1?
Yes, the CD edition had Sound, Music, Voice acting, and more maps. Anyways, it doesn't seem like I can send you the files via PM, so I'm sending you my email address. Email me with whatever you want (spam account, disposable email, or whatever). I don't use or sell email addresses, and will delete yours as soon as I send the files.
EDIT:
As this was my first time sending something to someone ever, we found out email doesn't work very well. The 1.25 GB file size does not sit well with most Email Host Provider. So instead, we used Microsoft SkyDrive. That way, I can keep the files on a server, and never have to re-upload them. And, the downloader can download the files at their earliest or latest convenience. So for all those who do indeed want the original files, PM me, and I'll PM you back with the SkyDrive link for the files.
NOTE: I will not be giving these files out for free. You must have purchased the game, in the very lest, from GOG.
