Does Steam also use DOSBOX for their DOS titles or another solution altogether? I couldn't imagine configuring those LucasArts games without it.

That's good then. When I first ran across DOSBOX it made my floppy disk collections of games relevant again, heck I even bought a new boxed DOS game the other day that is on a floppy :lol:

Yeah, the first one. Pretty amazing for '94. The car porn vids don't play nice in DOSBox without some workarounds though.

That odd moment when you're minding your own business, playing a video game about the social tension between Monkeys and Pirate Lizards and you realize your life has been a complete lie. You realize that you actually like Donkey Kong Country 2 more than Donkey Kong Country.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Leason learned: never buy two semi broken DS's (?) thinking you can get someone to put the pieces to make one working DS.

I really think it is weird how many downloadable titles are coming to PS4. It's not just small stuff either, there's a lot coming over from PC.
