You are one of the most unhelpful people I have ever met.

Punch, you could try being a bit less offensive and actually help when somebody asks a fair question <_<

[punch999]

will try to be better next time.

[Tom Henrik]

Pay no attention to Punch.

A suggestion for Vince: Get a really old, old machine. Shouldn't cost more then 20-50 bucks, depending on how powerful it is. Then you can install DOS on it and play these games like they were meant to.

Heehee, I reassembled one 'bout a year ago, from scrap parts my kid bro kept. Didn't run at all, so had to create a heatsink. Sisalrope and a standard 80x80 fan did the trick... but some IDE controllers must've been busted, as I couldn't get both HD and CD-rom to work at the same time. Still, we called it Bob, and put some games on it through diskettes. 't Is a cool way to play the old games, if you can get a comp in top shape for it. I wasn't so lucky, as the parts were kept by my kid bro, who proves how strong electronics are, by sitting on 286 mobos and combing his hair with 66MHz CPUs (and trust me... his hair's greasy before he does that, which can't do much good to it)

I'm on a lookout for a proper 486 motherboard right now. See, it's about the only part of my old PC that needs replacement - maybe also the CPU - but the rest is still in place.
Dang. To fry such an awesome 486 motherboard as the one I had is a mortal sin - and no one else is responsible my myself...

What 'bout blowing up the last ATE PSU you could find? Makes all the old hardware useless, it does.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Fortunately, such a plight is not possible for me. I have access to about half dozen working ones at my workplace, since we had a lot of broken hardware here.

Anyway, back on the topic of DOSBox. Though I think that Un registered dude's gone here's a thing you really should know (Nyarr, I can use normal DOS unlike you XP users and still know how to use DOSbox). Mounting a drive:

mount c:\path\to\all\of\your\dos\games <
I think that's right. I've not used it in a while. Should mount as Z:\ though.
Z:\ should be the selcevted drive.
cd\monkey1<
monkey.exe

Alt+Enter for fullscreen

Normal DOS is funner.
C:\WINDOWS\> C:\pkzip\pkunzip.exe -d -e C:\Mydocu~1\zipfil~1\monkey.zip
