This video shows off the 2nd Elder Scrolls game : Daggerfall running on linux using dosbox.
The quality of the intro video is quite impressive for an old game.
Just like the first elder scrolls episode, you had to press down the right mouse button and mouve the mouse using 4 different gesture in order to attack with a melee weapon : giving a pretty impressive and immersive feel of the battle.
The game got some great gfx improvement too.
As for the first game, the difficulty can be really punishing; you'll need to master the controls in order to defeat the first enemies, and uses savegames a lot, as some monster may kill you in 2-3 blow.
