playing DOS games in ubuntu

Are you fed up with working long hours on linux system... .Cheer up!!! and take a break by playing games to refresh yourself
type the following instructions to get DOS games working on your Ubuntu machine.
- For playing DOS games on linux i suggest you to install "DOSBOX"
- Open the terminal and type

$sudo apt-get install dosbox

-After installation create a folder in your home directory for the game ... for eg:

$mkdir /home/itsme/games

-Save your favourite games in that directory

-Invoke the dosbox

$dosbox

-The dosbox window will open in a seperate window.If you want it in full screen,press  alt+enter

Z:\>mount c /home/itsme/games

-Change to c directory

Z:\>c: (press enter)

C:\>cd triplane  (folder into which the game is stored)

C:\>triplane.exe

that's  it enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

(info: If the game runs too fast or slow don't worry.Dosbox provides ways to control the cpu cycles.Try ctrl+f7,ctrl+f8,ctrl+f11 and ctrl+f12)
