What are some of the weirdest glitches/bugs you've ever had happen that weren't emulation problems caused by DosBox? Just today, I found this Interplay game collection with Descent on it that I had forgotten about, and installed it to the directory they wanted (which was something like "C:\games\descent"). So I try to play it, and it tells me "Game not installed to 'C:\desbent'. Please reinstall." Just... how do you miss something like that?

Blackthorne being slower on Pentium systems than 486s, that kinda ticked me off because that meant I had to use my internet box to play the game at its proper speed.

hi-octane has a weird bug that prevents using a GM or roland soundcard for midi and a SB for soundfx at the same time (look here for some info). you can either use the SB emulation for midi under dosbox (which sounds like crap) or use an awe32 combatible card and play it under real dos...

Not a DOS game but in Wing Commander Secret Ops (the Prophecy expansion) my automatic back side turret once kept hitting my wingmen all the time and thus made me the traitor.
