I like to play with dos. Every once in a while I start looking for games and programs trying to recreate the computer my parents used to have.

I went through this recently in 86Box. Surprisingly fun tracking down all the drivers and setting up trumpet winsock (and DOS TCP networking.. neat!) and all the other things to get windows 3.1 online and playing games.

I'm still looking for an english version of tabworks that matches what we had.

The Internet archive is a pretty good place to find old software, if you haven't tried it yet.
