DOSBox is a DOS emulator for multiple operating systems. The latest version for most operating systems is 0.73.

DOSBox can emulate different graphics hardware. The following command line options begin a DOSBox session with specific hardware settings.

dosbox.exe -machine vga: VGA graphics

dosbox.exe -machine cga: CGA graphics

dosbox.exe -machine hercules: Hercules graphics

dosbox.exe -machine tandy: Tandy graphics

dosbox.exe -machine pcjr: PC jr support


DOSBox is almost universally compatible. Since most games play perfectly in DOSBox, it made more sense to keep track of which games don't run perfectly.

Because compatibility improves with each new version of DOSBox, it's important to record which version of DOSBox a game was tested with, so that it can be retested when a new version becomes available.
