    [​IMG]GOG has posted a short Editorial interview with the mind behind DOSBox, Qbix. If you have not heard of DOSBox, it's a program that effectively emulates an old DOS operating system, allowing the running of some very old classic games. Here's a snip:

    What was your first computer or gaming system?

    Qbix: My first computer was a 386 SX 25 MHz with 2 MB RAM and a 105 MB harddrive. If you are familiar with older versions of DOSBox this number might ring a bell. This pc is actually still being used for testing games which have problems under DOSBox.

    I've got to give him credit if he held onto his first PC this long. While short I recommend heading over to GOG to give the interview a quick read.

    Oh look, he lists Alley Cat and CD-Man as his first games! These two sure bring back memories :D
