i just downloaded it (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/) and checked it out--pretty neat. Now to find those old DOS game CDs...
I do not like those green links and spam.
I do not like them, Sam I am.

I haven't yet tried the OS X version, but I had previously tried it on my Windows machine, and found it to be pretty damn useful. The only problem is that some games aren't supported yet. That said, they're very quick at adding support (Epic's Jazz Jackrabbit and the DOS port of Capcom's Mega Man X both run fairly well, now).

I use DOSBox, very cool. Not especially fast, though. I run XCOM: UFO Defense and XCOM2: Terror From the Deep on it. Couldn't get Duke Nukem 3D to work on it though. Runs very well, looks just like it should, sounds like it should... Great at what it does.
