Dos Box - Old school PC Emulation

[magamo]

Mainly I'm starting this up as a continuation from conversation over on the video game remixes thread that really SHOULD be split out.

Anyhow,  Bignotoriousd1: Ahhh, Railroad Tycoon... Far too many days, weeks, months of my life was.... Errr... Used wisely on that game in many a yesteryear.  Sid Meier is a GOD.  Speaking of, anyone have any opinions on the new version of Pirates! I love both of the true Sid Meier versions (Pirates! and Pirates! Gold)  and would love to know how it would stack up, despite the fact that my poor old computer would NEVER be able to play it.

I did a bit of surfing through the Dos Box forums, and found that the authors all seem to point new users toward a frontend called 'D-Fend'

Give it a shot, and tell me if I should continue recommending it to folks.
