Okay...from what I can remember, there were a couple of glitches running KS
WC1 and 2, but otherwise they ran fine. WC3W and WC4W I'm not sure about,
but I think I read somewhere that WC4W doesn't work, and if one doesn't work
then the other probably wont. I know for a fact WCP and SO don't work.
Academy runs in the DOS window, I believe, but since there is no complete
DOS mode, Armada and Privateer definitely will not run unless you have a
dual booting system.
