Because there has been really no cool computer game (IMHO) since GalCiv2, i have been going ff1 old school with an NES emulator. I have finished about 3 games in 2 weeks. I have been using the awesome FF1 guide but only recently started reading the forums. So I decided that instead of cruising through with 4 fighters like I normally do, that I would push myself.

So I went WW/BW/BW/BW and it was a way different kind of game than I expected. I don't normally use mages much, but I enjoyed the challenge of conserving magic while going through the dungeons. Spells are so expensive! I was strapped for cash the entire game. I did not even buy all lvl 8 spells for my BW's.

I was lvl 37 when I beat the game. That's the highest lvl I had ever been. I had a hell of a time getting through the TOF and past timat and kraken while saving my precious nukes. Fun game.

A have learned so much from all of you. That spells like INVS have a cumulative effect (i wish i had known that for my last game), that Fast is probably the most important spell in the game (other than maybe Exit) about the pravoka peninsular, and FFHackster.

I still have a lot of questions and I look forward to everybody's input. Most of all though, thanks for all the work put into the guide so that people like me can enjoy this game that I played so much as a child (but never beat).

While four Fighters make an insanely easy party on the NES version, the DoS and PSX versions are much harder: Well alright, not until you meet the very last boss and suddenly realise you can't keep them alive long enough to do 20,000 damage :p, whereas a mostly mage party on DoS is easier than it would be on the NES due to the game's very different MP balance; on the NES version you need to conserve your spells, but in DoS you just carry lots of Ethers and you're set.

Is there an emulator that will run DOS?

Is there an emulator that will run DOS?Yes. One of the NESticle versions is a DOS version.

I think he meant "DoS" as in "Dawn of Souls," not "DOS" the operating system.
Yes, there is a ROM for Dawn of Souls, and an emulator for GameBoy Advance. The specific emulator that I used that I found quite adequate is called "VisualBoyAdvance". So, I'm sure if you put that through some sort of search engine, you should get results.
I have yet to find an emulator/ROM for FFOrigins, however. So, if anything comes up on that...
