I’ll need to play with this. I need to also revive my vm that was running OS/2 Warp so I could play the original version of Galactic Civilizations.

I know archive.org has running classic games in the browser, but I wonder how many will run under FreeDoS.

IIRC Archive.org uses a DOSBox port that leverages WASM.

Is there a blog or resource page I can refer to learn more about this?
