I excavated my old FG disk but I can't get it to run the same way I got
Panzer General working (by using settings in the shortcut). Does
anyone know the trick to get FG running?

I found the answer in a dead FG forum. After installing FG you use a
program called Dosbox to run the game. See the thread below for
details:

DOSBOX all the way! I got FG running with voice & music w/o a problem.
Also playing Master of Magic again. Three cheers for DOSBOX! What a
program!

Has anyone else noticed that Rome:Total War uses the old FG music?
