Old school gamer!
How awesome is this place.Played so many RPGs back in the 80s and early 90s on my Tandy 1000.How cool.
I'm actually playing Dungeon Hack right now.D-Fend Reloaded makes setting up these games so easy.Heck I'm doing this on Ubuntu using Wine.

I do use virtual box to play certain newer games especially those that do not function well in Wine.

Ah well, each his own I guess, as long as you're happy.
Just amazed me that someone who: Quote:
Personally I prefer batch files for the games that needs some 'special' settings or CD mount. ... and a frontend can be a real bitch when you try to run a needpicking game ....

I was having several issues running Dosbox natively in Ubuntu.Most of those issues for whatever reason disappeared when I ran the Windows version of Dosbox thru Wine(Playonlinux actually).And at that point I figured why not make life easier and just use a gui front-end,D-Fend is awesome imo.
