About

DOSBox is a DOS-emulator using SDL for easy portability to different platforms. It has already been ported to several different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, Mac OS X.

DOSBox emulates a 286/386 realmode CPU, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, a SoundBlaster 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!
