64 bit Windows 10 won't (to my limited knowledge) run 16 bit applications.Originally Posted by herbertwest
But Windows allows you to run apps while simulating older versions of windows. Sometimes works...Even if you did, the screensaver may not run on Windows XP or higher.Yes, but I don't have a floppy disk drive any more!
I do not remember where I got the Screen Saverless Box set....But it has no price or barcode.
Spoiler:
Oh great, another variant.
You could also order slipcases from Penguin. I think I remember ordering 3 or 4 but it looks like I only have this one left. No screen savers with these.As I remember, all the boxed sets came with the screensaver.
Lol
Don't forget the Slip cased 1st edition of the complete serial novel. 1st printing May 1997 with full # line 10-1 (I think it is Book Club as it has no price but does have bar code.
Yeah I have that one. Also the flattened box but not the letter.
NAre these hardback copies? Are they hard to find? ThanksDon't forget the Slip cased 1st edition of the complete serial novel. 1st printing May 1997 with full # line 10-1 (I think it is Book Club as it has no price but does have bar code.
Go to Book Finder.com put in the ISBN # 0-452-27890-2 & hit 1st edition. Looks like the 3rd one down on the left may be the one it states slipcase or 14th still sealed.
GOOD LUCK!
Those omnibus Green Mile editions in the slipcase are, indeed, BOMC editions, thus no price. I keep my trade first in the slipcase and use the BOMC edition as my reading copy.

IMHO I feel this set should be kept intact even though it is a Book Club as I stated before it does have a bar code, ISBN # & full # line that is odd for Book Club editions also this slip cased edition is dated 1997 & the over the counter 1st edition is 1999.(Up date the last part of this statement is untrue.) see below post #10368
This is correct. There are ways round this, (Virtual machines,etc) but waaay too much trouble to look at an old screen saver.64 bit Windows 10 won't (to my limited knowledge) run 16 bit applications.But Windows allows you to run apps while simulating older versions of windows.

"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I use an emulator to play Zork. It's a pain in the butt for the limited enjoyment derived from the game.

I want to play old games like Burgertime and Loderunner. Any suggestions?
BTW, I have the screensaver somewhere too.
Ahh, Burgertime....

My Bad...Just fond My over the counter 1st edition & it is also May 1997.
So except for the price bar these books are identical. But I will still keep the BC Edition in ITS slip case because that is where it belongs. IMHO

DOSBox is what I was referring to

Boys and girls. I just picked up a US Buick 8 from a second hand book store. No price on dust jacket but book shows full number line. I'm guessing book club edition? I'm not excited about this, but it came with a Buick 8 poster with a printed King signature. I was just wondering how sought after (if at all) these posters are? I've not come across one myself before.
Yes, the poster was only available with the Book Club Edition; It's a nice reason to get yourself a cheap copy of this, but I've seen them pretty regularly at the Half Price Books so it's not particularly rare or valuable.

Dolso has Joyland slipcases too. They are on his "ongoing projects" page. Bought one last year when I got my signed Joyland. They are very nice.
