DOSBox, a multiplatform PC emulator

,----[ Quote ]
| DOSBox is a freely available, cross-platform PC emulator. Rather than 
| attempting to be the technology leader as a business-orientated 
| virtualization environment like VMware or Qemu, DOSBox instead offers a rich 
| set of features aimed at closely recreating the behaviour of a retro gaming 
| PC. To this end, it offers a selection of accurate sound card emulations and 
| facilities to throttle the emulation speed back to vintage PC levels, along 
| with other features designed to make sure that the old games run properly and 
| accurately within a protected environment.

Linux Got Game: Warzone 2100

,----[ Quote ]
| Though not as graphically pleasing as today's 3D games, I still enjoyed 
| playing Warzone 2100. Maybe because I'm used to playing Red Alert on a low 
| end PC (Windows ;-0) before and experienced occasional hang -- Warzone 2100 
| is just lightning fast on my new Linux machine and it has very low demand on 
| RAM. I hope a new version of Warzone will still come out soon as I've heard 
| that the current project's progress is slowing down due to the lack of game 
| developers.      
| 
| Here's how I rated Warzone 2100:
| 
| Sounds and Graphics: 6/10
| Gameplay: 8/10
| Total: 7/10
