Sad old gits playing sad old games

Just discovered that DOSBox has been updated and now has "basic 386 protected mode support" and also "a virtual modem to dial to TCP sockets" - this is a really brilliant project on SourceForge that provides a "proper" DOS emulation (for those of us not running MS-DOS... which is probably all of us) and thus a way for us sad old gits to play sad old games that we remember from our childhood/youth.

The concept of built-in virtual modem drivers to allow network play on these old games is fantastic! Just think - Wacky Wheels as it was meant to be played... with friends! Across the internet! :)
