Wow, this is amazing. Two years ago when I wanted to show my girlfriend my long lost favourate demo Solstice by Valhalla, I thought it wouldn't happen. Solstice, a 1995 PC demo that was #1 in Wired '95 competition. Running on Windows XP was like impossible. I tried DOSBox and it still wouldn't work... something about sound blaster or EMS/XMS not fully emulated yet.
Two years later and my cravings to watch Solstice again came up. I gave it another try. Wow! It really works! Thanks DOSBox guys! You have restored my Solstice viewing pleasure... to maybe around 80%. (it's a bit chuggy, but I can still enjoy the music).
Try out PC demos like Solstice:

Query, will DOSBox emulate assembly 3D graphics better in future?
