- "What's the difference between the DOS and Windows versions of the game?
Diver Down was developed under the DOS version, so some gameplay aspects probably play better with it. Just minor stuff, like the timing of entity movement during events, etc. The Windows version, however, is leaps and bounds more stable as the engine won't crash like the DOS version. It's system requirements are heavier, though. So the average player will probably want the Windows version to avoid frustrating crashes."
