For Wolfenstein 3D, I use Wolf4SDL, which allows me to record gameplay videos using FRAPS; for Doom 2, I use PrBoom. I know a Windows-specific version of Theme Hospital has been released long before GOG was around, I wonder why they didn’t use it.

Perhaps it’s tied in with DOSBox, which has its own requirements. I was quite shocked to experience lag in a game this old too on a computer that’s lightyears ahead of the requirements!

CPU Speed: 66 MHz
RAM Required: 8 MB
Hard Disk Space: 20 MB
Graphics Type: SVGA
Graphics Resolution: 640×480

GOG’s requirements:
1.8 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM (1 GB recommended), 3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended), 2GB HDD

Why are GOG’s requirements so high? What did they do to it?
