We use old DOS software for calculations where I work and sure enough they needed help while I was home. My Windows box decided it didn't want to boot on me and I found Boxer. Works great for my needs, and saved me quite a bit of hassle. Couldn't be easier and of course you can't beat the price!

Today I thought I'll give Boxer a try, I downloaded it and I went to google for a copy of BurgerTime... within seconds the game were running in Boxer! I couldn't believe this game actually works in Boxer!!!
The tiny problem I have is the audio were kind of chirpy and not very smooth, I am not sure it has anything to do with Boxer or I just need a better copy of the same game. But despite that, I am still very grateful to the developer of Boxer for this wonderful DOS game emulator.

The tone of PC speaker sound effects depends on Boxer's emulated CPU speed, so you could try lowering the speed a little by pressing Cmd+downarrow while playing (or from the CPU panel - go to Emulation->Show CPU Settings… for more options). Lowering the speed may make the game sound closer to what you remember.
Are the graphics in Burger Time as you remember them? It’s possible for Boxer to provide better graphics in the game with a few emulation tweaks, but people's nostalgia is keyed to games as they played them, so 'better' isn't always better.

The graphic of BurgerTime from 1982 looks exactly like I remembered :) I follow your tip and lower the CPU speed and Frame rate, the sound improves a lot, the game play becomes much smoother, and is closed to what it used to be. You are right, 'better' isn't always better. People have nostalgia with old DOS games because it brings back their innocent time of their childhood back in the early 80's. BurgerTime was the first computer game I ever played, it was introduced to me on a friend's PC back in 1985, and that was my first year in U.S., LOL! Brings back a lot of good memories...
Thanks again for this great emulator. You made an old fart like me very happy....
