DOSBox
March 13, 2008
I have been having an itch for DOS games. The old point-and-click/text adventures like Monkey Island, Quest series, Discworld, Leisure Suit Larry, and so on. I grew up with these games, especially the King’s Quest, Space Quest, and Police Quest series. I had downloaded Monkey Island 4 for Mac, but unfortunately since I have Leopard installed, Classic mode no longer runs, so I kinda screwed myself over with that until I decide to downgrade to Tiger again.
So… I downloaded DOSBox which is a DOS emulator for all you Abandonware lovers. It works perfect actually, sound and graphic quality. Not too long ago I was playing Teen Agent.
It’s great really. I’ve been downloading a lot of games since I got it. I’m kinda in the mood for old school I guess. I can’t wait to get my hands on Discworld. I love that game.
So, if you’re into Abandonware and you own a Mac, I suggest downloading this besides going through SheepShaver, etc (unless your game can only run on Mac).
Anyway, yeah, lol… I’m happy.
