I think many people take DOSBox for granted, but it is a very well-done program. I use it to play one of my all-time favorite games - Jazz Jackrabbit.

Way to go, guys!

I have been looking for a Linux port of Commander Keen that is easy to compile, but never once thought to use DOSbox to run it. I hope it is as good as I remember it - excellent playability

That's the way it's run on Windows if you buy it from Steam, with DosBox.

DOSBox is an awesome way to relive the memories of old DOS gaming. I am using it to play the original Civilization.

Is there an idiot proof way to use it?

Some games work some games don't.

Any good front ends to make things easier.
