I understand your arguments and already covered them a little... But you will never manage to make me think that the Readme.txt is too complicated. Even a 8 years old boy or girl could understand it.

The problem doesn't stop there. If you want to play with old games then you'll have to play with the old interfaces. Those game interfaces are as dated and frustrating as DOS commands can be. Not to say that most of the time you don't have Online Help like almost all modern games!

This said, would we really help the under average computer users by giving them the tools to start old games without a breeze... Only to be frustrated and shocked by the actual game complexity because they don't have the patience, experience and will to actually play those kind of games?

Sorry, my own answer would be no.
