Summary: i8086/DOS/VGA software emulator for running old games
Description:
DOSBox is graphical application that provides rich programming emulation
of Intel 8086 real-mode, SVGA and DOS with XMS/EMS (but no DPMI!).
This is very useful for running old good DOS games written for PC/XT/AT
that's impossible directly on modern Pentiums, SUN's, PowerPC & etc.
At least PII 400MHz is required for comfortable running.
Full list of tested games successfully supported by DOSBox
is published on the http://dosbox.sourceforge.net site.
