Old DOS Games On New Windows

It goes like this: You suddenly feel the urge to relieve junior high and want to play Wolfenstein 3D again. You find a copy then attempt to install and um, what? It's not doing anything... Windows is being a jerk and refuses to let you play. The problem is easily rectified though, thanks to an Open Source program called DOSBox. DOSBox is a DOS emulator, pretty much like any other console system emulator. It runs old programs as if they were actually running on an old operating system. Rather nice for those of us who still like to bust out the games on floppy disks. Download DOSBox here
