/vr/ - Retro Games

Good idea, and thanks for the reply. I found a .deb but it crashes on launch, error message says I need OpenGL 3.0 or better and I only have 2.1

Truth be told I never played 2 or 3, so for nostalgia purposes 1 is all I care about. Partly what's stoked this desire is that I'm setting up a netbook with a bunch of emulators and old games for a 9-year-old (charity program). I want to send him some fun games but I don't know just what crosses the line in terms of his mom/violence etc. Chex Quest is Hank Hill approved "good clean fun".

But yeah the bottom line is I'd like to get something that he can just launch from emulationstation and quit out of with a simple escape button or in-game menu etc. I don't mind launching a VM to play but I don't think that's a great idea for a nine year old without someone there to walk him through it.

hmm... just found a youtube video of someone playing in dosbox, that looks more promising

Thank you for reading my blog
