    Does anyone know of a forum for classic PC gaming that doesn't mention dosbox any time someone asks a hardware question? No offense but it is kind of annoying. If I want to emulate the games I know how to do it and have been doing it before gog prepackaged them with dosbox.

    Thanks for the help though.
    *claps* I feel you but I guess I'm one of those crazy pc purists. Don't mind Jorpho, he's a nice guy but suggesting DOS BOX and talking about the frustrations of old computers is kinda his stock response to any questions on period hardware. I second VOGONS as a place for info on retro pc stuff. The vintage computer forums is also a good choice. I usually assume if someone is asking about gaming on period hardware they know somthing about computers and know dosbox exists so I get it can be annoying when you go to a retro forum and ask somthing and just get "dosbox is easier" it's happened to me. It's like walking into a record store, asking a question and being told to go buy an ipod.
