Any games made for DOS would be preferable. We have over 300 games that fits the description. k:

Yup. DosBox needs no ROMS like console emulators do k: , just put the games in some directory on your HDD (all the names of directories in-between MUST be 8-letter, tho) and edit dosbox.conf.
On the end of the file there is a section named Autoexec. Under the header write the following two lines:
Code:
mount c C:\dosgames
cd c:
Naturally, C:\dosgames is only example, but I think you understood it without need for such clarifications.

See ya!

Naturally, it would be even better if you obtained a DOS graphical file manager of some sort. Norton Commander, Volkov Commander, you name it.

I think there are some on the site as well.
