Hello Everyone,

I am trying to find out what would be the best way to run some old DOS games
under FreeBSD.
I quite enjoyed some of those funs, and figoured that it would be nice to
run them sometimes without needing to reboot the box into DOS or even while
the BSD is working on something more important.

I know that there are quite many possibilities and emulators available.
There is WINE, BOCHS, PCEMU and God knows what else.

Could you help me what would be the best choice to try for running DOS
games? (such as Day of the Tentacle or Transport Tycoon)

Any idea or suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,

Keve
