I can say a lot of these are working in DOSBox CVS.
Especially Full Throttle CD Version (was there a disk version?) works Flawlessly.
I just love the soundtrack to this game. 😜.

I mean only that i've made the best experience with this games using
"those" programms.

I have no doubt that all games may be able to run in
dosbox, (except those made for windows) but i would never run , let say: space quest 1 till 5 in dosbox, when i can play it under xp, without any
emulators, and i would never play monkey island 1 or 2 in dosbox, because scumm vm is MADE for THIS games.

For other games, like crusader or humans or blackthrone, i would (today ) never use another programm because they cause only minor till none problems with dosbox.

(xusme for the english, i'm from germany 😀
