Information

DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes DOSBox very easy to port to different platforms. DOSBox has already been ported to many different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, MacOS X...

DOSBox also emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics, a SoundBlaster/Gravis Ultra Sound card for excellent sound compatibility with older games...

You can "re-live" the good old days with the help of DOSBox, it can run plenty of the old classics that don't run on your new computer!

DOSBox is totally free of charge and OpenSource.

    Doom 1 and Doom 2 dont need dosbox and instead of Doom 3, these games are fun!

    I'll slap the shit out of you.

    Usefulness:

    This is a very useful tool for all Vista users that love oldskool games. Man this program owns. Not everyone needs this program. Many don't even want to play DOS games. Still very useful tool for all DOS things.

    8.5/10

    Usability:

    You really can do lot of things with this. You can play old DOS games and make even some packs that includes games and they are easy to open! It can be a little hard to open games at first time but you will get known to it. I really need this all the time because there is no chance that DOS games would work in my computer.

    9/10

    Performance:

    This program is very fast to load but can be taunting to find all the commands. It takes very low space in your hard disk and is easy to DL from the internet. It gives all the sounds too to the games!

    9.5/10

    Overall:

    This tool is very useful for all oldskoolers like me and I hope that many still play old games! Nice performance and made smoothly! Only minus is that commands can be hard to understand. Great tool!

    9/10

    Lurking is more fun than posti

    To be honest, I've never needed to use DosBox. Most of my dos games somehow run fine without it, like Syndicate.
