DOS gaming Options

[mirocu]

DOS games are great so here's a topic about it!

I admit; I made this topic mainly to get some help getting them to work on more modern computers like Windows XP and 7. I'm a bit tech savvy in general but not so much with DOSBox. The only reason I've played Arena is that the game came with the DOSBox already configured so I didn't need to do anything manually. Just plug and play.


Any and all help with this would be greatly appreciated! I don't know if there's a generic configuration that works with most DOS games or there's a site that has a load of games with pre-configured DOSBoxes (like Arena and Daggerfall) but it would be awesome if that was the case. My own searches have come up short.


To end this OP I'll list my favourite DOS games from the good ole days. Feel free to add your own!


CyClones
Duke Nukem 3D
Raptor: Call of the Shadows
Mortal Kombat 3
Wolfenstein 3D
Red Baron

A few pics from a couple good DOS games. I agree with Decrepit on Red Baron; in 30 years it hasn't become any easier so as always I still play with the option Aircraft May Be Damaged ticked off

Wolfenstein 3D, first area
Wolfenstein, first area end result



Had a bit of a problem today fighting Hans Grosse. When loading that game he offed me twice before I got him. He has two machine guns so he is indeed dangerous.
