DOS Box Games

Don't you know what DOS was? I'll tell you: it was an operating system for PCs from Microsoft. Predecessor of Windows. And Starcraft was released for Windows and Mac only. No DOS.

 

...NO SHIT.

 

:D I thought it was a time period! I'm a noob.

 

Yep, pretty much that. :P
Best thing about DOSbox for me is that it enables me to play high-quality games on my ancient, broken Linux computer. :D:D:D

I've never tried using a frontend, tho; the DOS interface seemed easier.

 

I like how these old games are original and fresh with ideas. Mostly.

 

And the ancient interface that makes you rage?

 

Well, not really. It's just that because the DOS Box is processor-intensive, it's pretty slow.

 

Uh, DOSBox isn't particularly processor intensive. It's emulating very old computer systems, so you shouldn't be getting any issues...

 

Not? Try Daggerfall...

 

Really? But its like setting up another computer inside your computer!

 

Please remind me why I'd want to play Daggerfall... :P

 

I don't know, maybe to see the biggest game world ever created?

But just wanted to point that some games under DOSBox are still quite CPU heavy :)

 

One of the reasons being that it was so terribly, terribly coded. isn't just notoriously buggy... :p
