If anyone understands DOSBox enough to explain it thorougly to someone else it would be appreciated. I didn't even know it existed until now, and I've wanted to play old games that don't work on new systems for years but it seems kinda difficult. Where can I download abandonware games? And how do I use them after I download them? (i read the readme file but DOSbox is obviously more complicated than playing games on DOS when they first came out)

It is against the rules to discuss how to get abandonware games, as they are a legal gray area and Snover (who runs the forum) doesn't want VOGONS to be labeled as a pirate forum.

If you are having a hard time figuring out how to get games working in DOSBox, I would suggest getting a frontend like D-Fend. I haven't tried it myself, but almost everyone I've referred to it has had good luck.
