Yo Wendell,
Could you please do a video on navigating around DOS or installing and playing games on old archaic systems like MS-DOS? I know you hate Microsoft and its shady practices (thug lyf) and yes linuxes is the best. Thanks brah
@wendell
Use dosbox
http://www.dosbox.com/
Also has wel documented how it works.
But in general you can just drop an game on the icon and start it automaticily.
or type in Linux after you installed it with dosbox game.exe or .bat in a terminal or like in gnome alt + f2 to run commando's.

Huh - never seen that before, nice find!
Especially cool for being open-source too :D

isn't java-script not always open source? :p
Whats your point? Its an open-source project that uses javascript.
Well its Free software that is better to tell!
saying that js is open source is just silly....we can all see that by copy pasting the url in our browser and remotely open the js file :p
...?
But who said javascript was FOSS?
Confused.... O_o
open source just means you can see the code.
But the license tells if it is Free for everyone to use that code and do what he wants with it or just too look @.
I know what open source is.
i hate javascript in my browser :p Just give me old trusted Dosbox!!
Am just annoying with nitpicking information XD
Tho in detail... its good to know but annoying in the brain to know ><
That's not the same definition as I was going by, I was rather going by having an OSI-approved license. There is a whole world of difference between having the source code publicly accessible (looking at raw js files), and being open-source (as in OSI-approved license).
But hell I would argue that it is not publicly accessible either, seeing as your definition implies that Minecraft is open-source. I would say that to be publicly accessible the entity that creates the software has to distribute it themselves (eg via a GitHub repository).
dafuq are you blithering idiots blabbering on about? this thread was for getting dos games up and running on an old dos/win9x machine...
g'damn, this wouldve cost 4300usd back in 95. whats that in todays money?
You could also just start a Ms Doss vm, and play arround with that.

That advert is really a triumph as to how far we've come in the past 20 years - going from 75MHz to 4GHz machines! Mind-blowing to think about, hopefully this is the type of growth we can expect going into the future. The 8-Bit Guy actually did a video on this a while back, pretty interesting stuff.
The cost of that now is around 7,000. What the fuck has inflation done!
