Install dosbox.
# apt-get install dosbox
Run dosbox once to create ~/.dosbox and the initial config. Then copy it to the unique name for “Z”.
$ dosbox $ cd ~/.dosbox $ cp dosbox-0.74.conf dosbox-z.conf $ mkdir drive_c
Get “Z The Game” e.g. from over e.g. here. There’s an already installed image available here as well. Then copy the game folder “Z” to drive_c (and keep in mind to own the original game’s cd when applying the mini image trick here).
Add the following to your dosbox-z.conf in the [autoexec] section:
[autoexec] # Lines in this section will be run at startup. # You can put your MOUNT lines here. keyb gr mount c /home/michi/.dosbox/drive_c imgmount d /home/michi/.dosbox/drive_c/Z/Z_DOS.iso -t iso c: cd Z z exit
To start it full screen, put a new alias e.g. in your bashrc and start it.
alias z_game='dosbox -conf ~/.dosbox/dosbox-z.conf -fullscreen'
