The advantage here is the ability to run a program in the operating system that it was designed for in the first place. VirtualBox and VMWare are some of the more common options available and is accessible for Windows, Mac and Linux users. (Mac users can also use Boot Camp and Parallels.) The process is similar to installing Windows Virtual PC.
I will try to summarise my experience with Windows, Linux and Mac. I have used windows and linux(ubuntu and kubuntu) extensively during my undergrad and using Mac.

Games developed for older versions of Windows may not run on recent systems. You will probably need a Virtual Machine to run the game.

Hi, guys. I'm using D-Fend Reloaded and DOSBox to run Virtua Cop 2 on my Windows 10 machine. However, I'm unable to play this game since it seems that the class.exe is the one being executed even when I'm clicking on VC2.exe. Please advise. Thanks!
Tell others what you think about Virtua Cop 2: did you play it? Did you love it or hate it? Your e-mail will NEVER be used for spam.

What is a BAT file?
A BAT file is a DOS batch file used to execute commands with the Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe). It contains a series of line commands in plain text that are executed to perform various tasks, such as starting programs or running maintenance utilities within Windows.
BAT files are typically only used by computer-savvy DOS or Windows users looking to make repetitive tasks easier to complete. Users can manually create BAT files with a text editor, such as Notepad or Wordpad, and add multiple commands on separate lines that can be executed by the command-line interpreter. When saving a batch file, save it with a .bat extension or save it as a .TXT file then rename the .txt file extension as .bat.
AUTOEXEC.BAT - The batch file run by DOS and older versions of Windows (95, 98, and Me) upon startup. It is located in the root directory of the boot drive.
BAT files may be used to distribute and execute malware attacks on victims' computers. To protect against malicious attacks, never double-click an unknown BAT file. If you want to inspect the commands stored in a BAT file, open it with a text editor.
