DOS games

I have recently installed a modified version of DosBox: Dosbox Daum Cafe,

download here

It works great and i've dug out some old but still amazing games. Ive just been playing some of my old favourites - Terminal velocity, Blood, Carmageddon Decent, Hioctane, Destruction derby, Quarentine...

I tried using dosbox to run blood and a few others a while ago but never managed to get it working, or it was stupidly slow. This version seems to do the trick.

edit - in the dosbox.conf add the following (to make the default dos games directory c:\games)
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount c c:\games
c:

vogons is a good source of tips to get old games working.

I've always found DOSbox to work well for me. Now all we need is some kind of Windows95Box that works just as well.

I've been wanting to play some of my old games actually... I knew of DOSbox already but I was terrible at making it work. I found out how to do it recently though.

Some games, such as Z, are Windows95 only, or are games that are a Win95 "update" of a DOS classic. As such we're missing some of the experience when we re-play them in DOS.
