#DOSBox

DOSBox For people who have a little more patience, DOSBox is one of the best platforms to have if you're planning on some hard-core retro gaming. In a nutshell, DOSBox emulates Intel x86 PCs (yes, those big, white chunky ones), complete with sound, graphics, and controls, which are necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot run on our modern PCs and operating systems. When you open DOSBox, a command window will open. This is essentially your main menu, so to run your DOS games, you can either drag and drop the game file to DOSBox, or you could do it ''traditional style'' and enter a few commands. First, you're going to have to make DOSBox think that your game folder is the root drive by entering the mount command. Do this by entering in: "MOUNT [Drive-Letter] [Local-Directory]" For example, if you saved all your games in a folder named "DOSGames" under drive (D:), type in the ff: "MOUNT C: D:\DOSGames" - This tells DOSBox to treat the C:\DOSGames folder as the (C:) drive. Then type in: "C:" - To make DOSBox put you on the (C:) drive, but this is actually your "DOSGames" folder. We know we handed you over a list of ROM sites you can download from, but for this one, you're going to want to take a look at a website like dosgames.com to find those oldies but goodies that DOSBox will be able to run.
