Very nice, easily my favorite program for entertainment.
On that note, DosBoxGameLauncher was just released in a new version with the new .73 prepackaged. It's by far the easiest way to run your old Dos games on most popular systems.

Been using various revisions and unofficial modifications like Gulikoza and YKwong's builds as they've provided some pretty cool enhancements but it might be interesting to see how the official version is now (Been using daily builds of it as well but was a while since I tried those.). Smile

oh dear lord, i still have nightmares about s3 virge
worst videocard i ever had
i had two different s3 trio cards and those were probably the longest used videocards i've ever had
i can't remember anything special about them, other than just working everywhere wonderfully
was there something special there then?

You should check the EF2000 series. Really impressive for DOS games. TFX is awesome as well. Smile

i have them original Smile they are sorta right over the top for me simulation wise, but its good they came out cause many love those games.

I like games like top gun and... the very best Strike commander, good story, realistic flying without needing 4875 buttons to take off Smile

I remember when i got falcon 3.0 in like 1992 it had a manual so big i could have flown a real F16.
