Not really "press" material but I noticed DosBox being mentioned in the Dark Places (Quake 1 port) port.
It's used to help with the installation of Quake 1 on various operating systems.

Saw this interview with Hollenshead & Carmack over at gamesindustry.biz. Debated on wether or not to post it since ID is on my "Bad List" along with Crytek/Epic for either blaming "Piracy" for the downfall of PC's and switching to Consoles for their main development.....as well as making mediocre games at best:

Q: Is the performance consistent? Do you see spikes now and then?
Todd Hollenshead: It was certainly huge after QuakeCon, and then it tails off and it flattens out at some point. Speaking of things we argue about at id, another debate was to how things would do. We certainly over-performed relative to my expectations - I think part of that was on the lift of the announcement at QuakeCon and some of the smart ways we did things.
I got to give some credit to the guys at DOSBox - we had a little bit of a snafu with the way that stuff first went out, but the problem with all of the old games was because they were DOS games they didn't really work, some of them didn't have sound, and so I was reluctant to say we should be making them be a bigger emphasis in order to sell and market these sort of things when consumer experience would be hard to anticipate - but DOSBox ended up being a really elegant solution and it's kind of an awesome thing.
With Steam, you don't even have to have all that stuff installed, resident on your machine - you buy the id Superpack and if you want to go play Commander Keen or Wolf 3D or Doom 3 or whatever, you can just start playing.
nice to read that DosFreak.

How to ask questions the smart way!
Unfortunately it is based on 0.72, so the instructions for editing the config file is a bit off. And personally, I think the descriptions on how to mount and run games are very weak.

PS: Did we have thread about DOSBox in the media somewhere?

GOG uses DosBox mainly to make old games run, and indeed if would be great if someone added SuperEagle or Hq3x to DosBox...
I love GOG \o/ They sell games for a great price (seriously, I think for example that L4D and some other new games should be priced at 20 USD at maximum... 60 USD is a bizarre price). Also they sell... Good Old Games 😉
It is cool that I finnaly could buy a legal copy of Screamer, how I love that game...
😖 😢
Were those scalers officially released in 2006 or 2007? You'd think that if you didn't check on something within the past 2-3 years, that you would check up before posting that something hasn't been added. Oh well, It's a person posting in the comments section. If Youtube and other sites have taught me anything, it is that most people who post there are fucking idiots.
