I am looking for a good DOS emulator for Linux, primarily so I can play some older games I still enjoy such as Pirates Gold, Kings Quest, and Warcraft. I found a program called DOSemu but really wanted to hear what other users had to say on the subject of DOS emulation on Linux. I know I could use Wine but I just wondered if there was a easier more precise way to play some of my old DOS favorites?

Thanks

Holy freakin crap, I didnt even realize dosbox was available for linux. I used it all the time on my windows machine to play many of the same games I want to play now. Sweet.

Thanks
