In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the franchise, Bethesda is offering The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall as a free download, the first game in the series that would set the first-person/open-world tone later popularized by Morrowind and Oblivion.

They’ve made no attempt to update the game for Vista/XP compatibility, which is actually for the best: the game requires DOSBox, which now runs on a variety of platforms. Skip (or at least only lightly refer to) the frightfully technical installation guide (pdf) they’ve included: frontends like D-Fend on the PC, and Boxer for the Mac are going to be your best friends here.
