Many of us have DOS games that we're passionate about. For me, it is the original Star Flight. For many of you, we've heard you love XCOM. Many of you (like me!) are fond of the Sierra games. Every time I go to NaclBox, I want to play Space Quest 3. So today we're excited to announce My NaclBox. My NaclBox is a service allowing you to upload your classic DOS games and play them online _________________ Game Acronym List DosBox CVS Builds DosBox Feature Request Thread DosBox FAQ PC Game Compatibility List DOSBox Video Tutorial Quote: John Bender: Without lamps there'd be no light.

Is it a cloud storage with emulators ran on that through the web? Almost seems suspect for like a Dr. Evil scheme of hoarding DOS games or something. _________________ On the virge of being a rendition of a raged voodoo savage with a bundle of TNT leading a revolution into an apocalypse.
