Blackthorne is a Blizzard classic from 1994 – just found it over here.

In order to play, install dosbox

sudo apt-get install dosbox
vim ~/.dosbox/dosbox-0.74.conf

and modify the settings to the following changes

core=dynamic
cycles=20000
sbtype=sbpro2

after that, unzip the game into a new directory, e.g. named ‘BLACK’
now run dosbox on that directory, mounting it as C: …

$ dosbox BLACK

in DOS, do

C:> dir
C:> BLACK.EXE

enjoy an old-time classic 🙂
