<p>Want to play some old school DOS games on your Mac? Grab Boxer, it’s a great emulator that runs perfectly in OS X complete with a beautiful interface. It comes with a few games: Commander Keen, Epic Pinball, Ultima Underworld, and X-COM, but you can get more and just drop them in the fancily styled games folder:
