Just discovered Dosbox

[Red Faction]

Googled Settlers 2 over the weekend for nostalgia sake,
came across multiple mentions of 'dosbox'.

After much youtubing managed to figure it out- pretty awesome!

Needless to say have started playing Settlers again- although it only opens in a small window (?box) in the centre of the screen, and is harder to move the screen about than I remember.

One of the youtube videos mentions Lemmings-
any other dosbox revelations?
any suggestions re: window size?
any other blasts from aforementioned past anyone can think of?

Saving that if you like abandonware try searching for
"Home of the underdogs"

Good resource of old games

Not 'old', a little sad, and quite silly.
Looking back at some of these games and finding the graphics breathtakingly groundbreaking...
then looking at today's CGI.

Saw predator a few months back on TV. Couldn't believe how anyone took those 'special' effects seriously- even in the 80's...

Ten years from now they'll say the same thing about today's CGI

Tbf lemmings was alway about being silly and the really worrying thing about predator is van damme was suppose to be a ninja alien until they realise he look friggin silly taking on any of the other guys in the cast.

Plus he whined about the suit so much

The effects in Predator are pretty good aren't they?

Also: is Lemmings available for free yet? I want to see if the benefit of age and wisdom will allow me to get past that stumbling block I ran into before, around level 60.
