MS-DOS is where I got my start with computers. We had an IBM PS/2 Model 30 when I was growing up and I spent so much time on it playing some Phonix stuff and a Tom and Jerry game. Eventually, we ended up getting a Windows 95 Pentium based Packard Bell but the most common gaming on that machine was still DOS-based. It is still crazy to me that DOS gaming remained super prevalent all the way until 1997! As time marched on DOS gaming capabilities were finally removed from Windows but thanks to emulation the games can continue living on past their original hardware. DOSBox has long been used by a number of companies to sell classic games on stores like GOG and Steam. DOSBox however has a long history of being notoriously complicated to setup. But thanks to a new build know as DOSBox Pure by schellingb, DOSBox has never been easier! and better still, it can fully emulate a mouse and keyboard inputs without either device being required. This makes DOSBox Pure an extremely viable way to enjoy a number of MS-DOS classics on our Xbox Series X|S. There is still a considerable amount of Setup required but compared to standard DOSBox this is a walk in the park!
