Whats the difference with playing DOS game under Real-mode DOS and DOS Prompt?

0

The main difference is this – if you are playing under Real-mode DOS, you are actually under DOS 7.00’s environment. Under DOS Prompt, you are still under Windows. You can still do multi-tasking and switch between applications using the Alt+Tab key. However, playing under the DOS Prompt has its own disadvantages. Windows do tend to eat up a lot of conventional memory. If you are playing an older game, the game won’t start at all. You will have to boot to DOS.
