I decided to fire up some of my old favorites today in DOXBox in Ubuntu 14.04. One of the games I spent the most time playing as a kid was "Tank Wars". Back then I played it on an Emerson 286 running BrownBag OS which was just a colorful menu system for DOS and 10MB of HDD space.
Playing it today was just as fun as it was 20+ years ago.
If you remember games like this and want to play them again, check out http://www.myabandonware.com/ and install DOSBox on whatever system you're currently running. Unless you're running a rig slower than the beast pictured at the top of this blog, you should have no problems playing all your old favorites!
