Hi! It's a video about how to play DOS games on your PC! People ask me about this a lot, particularly during DOSember (dosember.com).
S.N. I said that Archive supports save states -- I meant saves in general. It stores 'em in ya cookies. But download DOSBox and you won't even have to worry about it. ;)
I tried to include my most used DOSBox commands - enough to get you going, and to give you a little flair/optimisation. I hope it helps!
Obviously I didn't cover anything, so if you're desperate for answers -- or to WELL ACKCHYUALLY me -- feel free to leave a comment below and I'll do my best to help out!
SUPER TL;DR:
1. What's a DOS game?
A game that runs on DOS, lol. (Disk Operating System)
2. How do I play them?
There are lots of ways! Some of the easiest are:
a. In your browser, b. ExoDOS, c. DOSBox.
3. DOXBox is scary, how do I use it? Click the DOSBox timestamp below and watch for about 2 minutes, you'll get the general gist.
