I still use Dosbox sometimes as a nostalgia trip.

[Qent]

You use DOSBox... as an OS?

[Colonol Dekker]

No, just for playing old dos games,

It's nice to use it once in a while.

What are some of your favorite golden oldies?

Then how do you get online?

Ooh ooh!  Can I have the mistaken belief that comment about the golden oldies applies to everyone who reads it and not just Dekker?  If so, my favorite game that requires DOSBox to play would be Privateer 2.  That game wouldn't even load up in a DOS prompt in Win' 95, you actually had to reboot into DOS to install and play it, and I don't know why.  That game has held up really well for me, especially considering the graphics aren't that bad, and all the animated locations and menus are cool.  I <3 ion cannons and their lack of any heat generation.

privateer 2 was a native dos game and it required every last shred of the 640k limit to initialize. the only way i used to be able to play it back in the day was with a boot floppy. ive never been able to play that game in windows or even freedos, i didnt even know dosbox could run it. funny thing is that many of the dos-era games were way ahead of their time and could easily out do any console games around at the time. many dos games which could be run in windows (descent2 for example) the requirements doubled when in windows mode. so when i had my 120 mhz pentium machine (with 8 megs ram, upped to 12 later on), it spent most of its time in dos mode.

Well, you do know that Linux has a lot more going for it than Mac does. Customisability and price are probably the top two reasons, not to mention that Wine works better on it. A Mac is still an expensive extravagance, and the only reasons why I use it is because my school needed me to buy one, and because a good portion of the film industry use it.
