Boxer is a great app, one of my favorites. It doesn't make a good solution for win95 games, however. I've installed win95 in DOSBox, took several hours and many failed attempts, but it still exits unexpectedly and sometimes refuses to boot unless I run a scandisk first.
Virtualbox isn't really a good solution, because it's not optimized for win9x. It may be more stable than the DOSBox solution, but it's many times slower, and somtimes just plain unresponsive.
I'm still digging for a free virtual solution for windows 95 games. It would be ideal if I can have the games on the shelves with my Boxer games. Even if each game has it's own windows installation to support it. Would be nice to just click and go.
In the meantime, I still have an old PowerMac G4 with Virtual PC v5 that runs windows 95 much smoother than my much faster intel mac can. But it would be ideal if I could play any of these games on one machine.
