I use DOSBox to run em and http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/ to find old games. It was a little tricky to get the hang of at first since I forgot all the dos commands.

man i grew up on dos, so commands and switches are like a second language to me lol, gui are overrated anyways, just pretty resource hogs.
