| I believe some of you guys still recall those days where you meddle with ya autoexec.bat files in your DOS system, and played games such as PacMan, Super Marios and many others . For those who still keep those old DOS floppies, dig them out and try out this DOSBox, a free, open-source DOS emulator for all platforms. The app supports at least 3,000 games, and likely many more, as it can recreate most graphics and sound setups, and lets you set your own processor speed to prevent the warp-speed effect games often suffer on modern systems. DOSBox is a free download for Window, Mac, Linux, and other platforms. |

It uses quite some processing power. I always found it easier to use something like VMWare and simply running an older DOS version in there. _________________

| DOSBox is limited, but I'd definitely say it's a good program. I've used it a few times with very little problem. |
