This has probably been asked before but I couldn't find anything anywhere..

anyways I just dug out my Risc PC, and tried to play "The Olympics" (CLASSIC) on it, as well as some other old old Archimedes games, and remembered why I swore of the RiscPC. THEY DON'T WORK! I'm sure there's a way to make OS2 games work on OS3, or at the very least an emulator which I can use on my PC. Any help would be cool.

thanks, but I can only download the files on my new PC, I don't know how to transfer them to my old Risc PC which has only a disk drive. The old computer will not recognize the files

Do you mean the Risc PC only has a floppy drive?
If so, then copy the Olympics patch file to a DOS/Windows floppy disc. Go to
http://pilling.users.netlink.co.uk/free.html and download SparkPlug 2.26 Self extracting version. Copy this to the floppy disc also.

Put the floppy into the Risc PC. Set splug.bas to BASIC and run it. Then double click on !SparkPlug. Next drag the Olympics patch file to the SparkPlug icon on the iconbar.
This will allow you to copy the files for the patch.
