One thing DOSBOX can do for you is
"fix" the older games. Some older
games simply run too slowly on a 4.77MHz machine to be enjoyable, like
some 3-D titles like Vette! or Starglider 2. For those, you can just
Ack! Why play the DOS version of Starglider 2 when the Amiga version
is soo much nicer looking? ;)
Actually, Starglider 2 looks and plays better on the PC than Amiga ;) A
386 w/VGA outperforms the Amiga version.
Cinemaware games have some of the best CGA graphics I've ever seen, but
they quite obviously pale to the Amiga originals. Ironically, the PC
versions were made much easier than the Amiga, something I found odd. I
finished Rocket Ranger and Defender of the Crown on PC, but the Amiga
versions kicked my ass.
This is OT so we should take it off-list.
