There's a fellow that runs an off-YouTube web show called "Ancient DOS Games" or ADG for short. It's a sort of review/expose/documentary/nostalgia retrospective showcase program. He rarely ever covers a whole game series in one episode, but one such series is the Catacomb 3-D series (link to episode; the original freeware 'Catacomb' episode can be found here). In every episode of ADG, the host lays out the most optimized DOSBox settings available for the game, so it's especially useful for those of you who've already bought the game from GOG.com, and are having some trouble running it. And do check out the other episodes, whether you're having issues with the games or not.

Thanks for the link to Ancient DOS Games. I really enjoyed watching some of his videos just now, particularly the Wing Commander one as well as the Catacomb one. I bookmarked it as there is some other good ones I want to watch too, especially the first two Elder Scrolls games he covers. Good stuff!
Far be it from me to tell you what to do, but if you get the time, watch all of them! Some of the best coverage comes on the worst games, and you get an insight into hardware and software limitations of the time, and the creative manner in which developers got around said limits, or pushed them.
