Gaming - willz06jw - 02-27-2026

Anyone doing any gaming using DSL 2024?  I am loving retro gaming through Dosbox with the files from my GOG.com Quest For Glory 1 purchase.

Has anyone done other retro or new games?

If anyone is wondering how I extracted QFG1 from a GOG.com exe, here is what I did:

I installed dosbox, innoextract, and p7zip-full from the terminal:
sudo apt install -y dosbox innoextract p7zip-full

Then I made a directory:
mkdir -p ~/games/qfg1

Then I extracted the files from the GOG exe:
innoextract --gog -d ~/games/qfg1 "setup_quest_for_glory_-_so_you_want_to_be_a_hero_2.00_(28045).exe"

Then I used DOSBOX as normal to mount the drive then run the game


Have a great one any other gamers,
Will
