Yep! One of the great productivity killers, and also spanning a wide range of games dating from 1982 to around 1997. If you're ready to delve into the not-quite-legal territory of abandonware there are many classic titles to check out - many more than are currently listed on the dosgames site.

Wouldn't it be better to call it "DOS" instead of "MS-DOS" ?

There are DOS versions which support NTFS and MS-DOS is not one of them

No hes correct. It emulates the Microsoft product. Hes not saying it IS MS-DOS.

I discovered that DOS Games website about 10 years ago... Big deal! :roll:

Who wants to play a demo of a game made in 1992?

But DOSBox is cool if you have a powerful enough computer and know of some good abandonware sites.
