Ask HN: Play your favorite DOS retro games on mac
1 points by melvinodsa 119 days ago
I am feeling nostalgic about games like Dangerous Dave. Haven't found a good hack to do that. Thinking of utilising my over powered macbook to host LLMs offline and use agents to build those games.

Any simple stage games, you can think off for me to start?

Why would you use an LLM to build a game that already exists? DosBox-X works perfectly for old retro games (Commander Keen, Dangerous Dave, etc) and runs on Macs.

Right? Or run FreeDOS in a VM, or one of the many DOS emulators in a browser, etc.

Can't see what an LLM has to do with any is this.
