Dosbox is great, but if you have a decent (read: two years old) configuration, you might want to check gulikoza's D3D DosBox version http://www.si-gamer.net/gulikoza/ . Now if I can find a way to upload some pictures. 😀

OK. Found it. Have fun. 🙂

I use a front end called D-fend with Dosbox to play old pc games.its no longer in development,but there is a new one called D-Fend Reloaded.

Just got finished playing a bit of WC2:SO1 on DosBox. I'm looking for more DOS space sim games. Of course I've played the Wing Commander series and X-Wing/TIE Fighter series. I'm trying to find if they have any abandonware games. I've been looking for a game called Renegade: Battle for Jacob's Star.

Use to be able to get a lot of the old dos games on the old underdog site,untill it went

down last year,there is a new one but I dont think they have the game links anymore

yet another good page http://www.gameternity.com/

here i found "Renegade: the battle for Jacobs Star"

that sof toning blurring antialiasing, i don't know, i don't like , i use DOS - box since many years but kept always off the enhancements (max. a double or triple res. but no antialiasing) e.g. Frontier and FFE i play as they are, imo they look best that way, sharp. especially the Letters get unreadable if you force the antialiasing to much. except maybe the advanced MAME setting, is ok. i allways feel like if i would wear wrong glasses. 😉

defend reloded is a good thing i guess, if you don't like to setup each game by yourself, but for this little comfort a 10 meg program, wow, the frontend is times larger then the game you play.

additionally, i like to have each game and dos-box in their own folders, i don't know maybe i'm just oldfashioned, but then you got a link to them in your games folder likewise for any other you have installed, i like that much, best would be if i even didn't notice it runs on a emulator. with a linked (set to minimize when open) batch to dosbox and it's config for the game it's allmost that way, you see only for a very short time the dos-box console befor it leaves the console window for the game (a complete "silent" mode would be best imo).

i did similar with mame or other emulators, if it's possible. WinUAE you can link the config files to your games folder and add icons to each, looks very nice. Nostalgia (Intellivision emu) you can do the same, i have a special INTV folder with a "inty green" background, and my favorit games placed there each with it's little icon. a folder (which allready annoying me) for the overlays and instructions as well. since i own a lot of overlays from old inty i use mostly the original ones, if i had to know which buttons there are to press. inty could have really complex controls, for some games.

if interested i have a "hacked" version of later INTV's Soccer you can play also against the machine (what a great progress), i shortened the game from (they had an Annex to the realism) 2 times 45 min. to 2 times 10 minutes (inty minutes are fortunatly somewhat shorter then real ones, anyway).

i miss to play intellivisions soccer sometimes against a human, (of course in the old days i had to play 2 x 45 min.) i was unbeaten! therefore i lost every tennis match.

can you imagine that game has cost in those days SFr 120 and you wasn't able to play against the computer.

I have most all of my old Amiga games running with Dos Box. Some are fairly good playable, some others not or not at all! On most of them, the graphics were much better with the Amiga then under Windows

You could always use one of the Amiga emulator instead of dosbox.
