Play all the MS-DOS games of your misspent youth on your Mac.
Boxer plays all the MS-DOS games of your misspent youth, right here on your Mac. There's no clots of configuration and baffling DOS commands between you and your fun: just drag-drop your games onto Boxer, and you'll be playing in minutes. Boxer takes your CDs, floppies and bootleg game copies and wraps them into app-style gameboxes you just click to play. They're self-contained so you can back them up or share them with friends. No mess, no fuss. If your nostalgia demands more, then decorate your games with gorgeous icons and admire your collection from your very own Finder games shelf. Boxer is powered by DOSBox's robust DOS emulation, which means it'll play almost any DOS game you throw at it.
Great way to run DOSBox, unable to simplify everything

Pros
Once your old DOS programs are set up correctly, you can have them appearing as a single bundle in the Finder, with an appropriate icon, launching immediately upon double click.
Cons
Lots of manual work involved in setting up the correct machine hardware for each game (eg, no GUI route is provided to set emulated sound cards, graphics cards, etc); DOSBOX issues (such as the window centring of its own volition) show through.
Summary
It makes DOSBOX a lot easier to take, but it'd be easy to imagine a much more user friendly way to do the same thing if DOSBOX integration weren't such a barrier.
Simply the best
