DOSBox is a free and open-source MS-DOS emulator. It supports running programs \u2013 primarily video games \u2013 that are otherwise inaccessible since hardware for running a compatible disk operating system (DOS) is obsolete and generally unavailable today. It was first released in 2002, when DOS technology was becoming obsolete.
