Oh my God. I’m tired of PC gamers – but also gamers in general – badmouthing emulation.
I’m sorry, but most people don’t have an old beige box PC with a Pentium CPU and CRT monitor. That’s simply not an option for 99% of people out there. If they want to play old DOS games, they need DOSBox. Yes, it’s not perfect. Nothing is.
But if you want to play the original game on new hardware, not some re-make that pretends to be the original, then emulation is the answer.
