Boxer is a Slick App That Brings DOS Gaming to Your Mac

The headline says "Slick", but in my opinion this goes even further than that. Every part of it that I've seen so far is beautiful. That includes the homepage, too. This is the kind of really well-made apps that made me switch to OS X in the first place. Would love to see (much) more of this :)

XCOM UFO Defense. Greatest game ever. Just started a new game for kicks on superhuman. First UFO landing, every soldier died. Perfect!

Boxer + GOG.com = retro heaven. It's just a shame you need a windows pc to get the GOG installer to extract the setup installers

I love Boxer! It's beautifully designed, and it's handled everything I've thrown at it so far with aplomb. Some of my favorites to revisit: Monuments of Mars, Scorched Earth, Commander Keen, Dark Forces.

It's about time to revisit Day of the Tentacle :)

I downloaded this a while ago with the intention of installing a few games and then got sidetracked with work (or perhaps unsidetracked) and forgot all about it. Thanks for the reminder! It does indeed look nicely done.<p><i>Rest well this night, for tomorrow you sail for the kingdom of Daggerfall.</i>

It would be a smart move for gog.com to buy these guys out and also port it to linux and windows, and use it as their main steam-like thing (without the lockin).<p>Edit: Oops, looks like it's open source already. Great!

Great. Now, thanks to Space Quest III, I will not get any work done this month.

One game that I've searched high and low for is Hyperspeed by Microprose. Few people seem to have played it but it was one of the best strategy games ever made.

My first thought: There's already DOSBox (which I bet was already ported to Mac), what's the point?<p><i>&#62;It's powered by DOSBox.</i><p>My second thought after reading that: DOSBox is GPL'd, where's the source of Boxers?<p><i>&#62;Clicking through a few links: <a href="https://github.com/alunbestor/Boxer" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/alunbestor/Boxer</a> </i><p>Well, okay, I really don't get the point of this "App" but I guess as long as it's free software...

While Boxer is great it isn't new. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten coverage on HN before.

did anyone tried Blood game ..
