[autoexec] # Lines in this section will be run at startup mount c ~/dosbox_games c: cls echo Welcome to your DOSBox gaming vault! Now, every time you launch DOSBox, your C: drive will be ready to go. Old games were designed for 25-66 MHz CPUs. Your modern 3.5 GHz processor will make them run insanely fast. To fix this, DOSBox has a "cycles" system.

Do you miss the screech of a dial-up modem? Probably not. But do you miss the golden era of Commander Keen , Doom , Theme Hospital , or Transport Tycoon ? Absolutely.

If you’ve switched to Ubuntu (or any Linux distribution) but still have a soft spot for your MS-DOS classics, you don’t need a vintage 486 machine to play them. You need .

sudo apt update sudo apt install dosbox That’s it. You can also find it in the Ubuntu Software Center by searching for "DOSBox."

So go ahead. Install DOSBox, fire up Master of Orion , and relive the era when 4 MB of RAM was a luxury.
