RE: Duke Nukem 3D free at GOG
There's nothing wrong with DOSBox. It's just that there are superior ports available for most old games. Better graphics, updated multiplayer tech, etc. DOSBox is great if you want a reproduction of that wonderful 1996 experience. Of course, you miss out on the constant crashes, freezes, etc. Also, everything looks horrible if you don't have an old 15-inch CRT monitor.

There's also
EDuke32

Of course, the id games and their derivatives like Heretic, etc. have a million ports.
Transfusion
for Blood may or may not be playable. I'm not sure.
