Playing OldSchool LucasArts Games on XP

I was currently going through a bunch of CD-Roms that I was reminsicing about and decided to give them a shot. I have so many LucasArts games liek Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, X-Wing, Tie-Fighter, ands Rebel Assault that i want to play but none of them work because I am running on XP I would think. You guys know of any programs that you can use to make these games work, I would really like to play them again!!

Right click on the shortcut > properties > compatability tab. Try setting it for win95.

As a sidenote, I believe I've read somewhere that TIE fighter will not work on systems that have more than 256 or 512MB of RAM.

Try DosBox. I've used it on all of my old Sierra and LucasArts games.
