I already own a few of these games from GOG and Steam, but a few are not based on DOSBox. Why is this important? Because you can tweak DOSBox a lot, change what sound card to use like FM sound or MIDI sound AND, something I kind of specialise on, play them on a real Retro DOS Gaming PC

Raptor for example ships with some Windows version in the GOG release. Doesn't sound right and feel right...

Anyway I'm so pleased with this release that I made a quick video review:

Towards the end I briefly show two tweaks to the DOSBox config file to correct the aspect ratio. I didn't want to get into more technical tweaks as this wouldn't interest the majority but the stretched image is something everyone should fix.
