[QUOTE="thekilierdonut, post: 1254464, member: 193006"] Boxer is basically a program built around Dosbox; Dosbox made easy, if you will. The whole idea behind it was to give it a simple, "mac-like" interface. It's am excellent DOS emulator. I think I have a copy of 3.11 wfwg at my parents' house in a box of old computer stuff in my old bedroom, along with a copy of Windows 2.03 on (gasp!) 5.25" floppies :-). I'm only there a few times a year so next time I get over there I'll try to find it! Unfortunately, it won't install anything earlier than 3.X because its emulating a newer version of DOS. However, It HAS been running my old games absolutely flawlessly. My only gripe is that it doesn't have joystick support yet - that's coming in version 1.01, so xwing and tie fighter are hard to play :-) I've been having a BLAST playing Hugo III: Jungle of Doom, though! I've also thought about trying to make Windows 95 work, but I don't think I'm gonna. But if any of you guys want to and get it working, I'd love to see a screen shot!
