86Box receives a Major Update After Two Years with Major Changes

If you are a fan of old games of the 80s, then 86Box must sound familiar. 

For the uninitiated, 86Box is a low-level x86 emulator for older computers( 8086-based processors to Pentium) to run IBM PC systems and other compatible systems from 1981 till PCI Bus was the norm.
