I have heard there are some emulators out there, but I don't know if there
is one that stands above the rest. If it matters, the games I'm thinking
of most are X-Com (original), Pirates Gold and Wingcommander Privateer.

This has me thinking (a dangerous thing indeed). I still love some of the
older DOS / Win 3.x games. In the next couple weeks I hope to find time to
load up gnome on my Debian box (I've only run command line linux so far),
and would love to put some of those games

I think he was referring to game emulators, not OS/HW emulators.

I still fondly remember playing space war on the console
switches of the PDP-1. I was a little late to hear "Anchors Away"
played on a chain printer.
A the good old days. I remember programming a mainframe to do some basic
space navigation (simple landing problem) via FORTRAN and punchards (that was
a fun computer class - 1 day turnaround minimum on a run)

Anybody download Doom shareware on 4 floppies from your local BBS? Then
realize that your little 386 with 1MB wasn't machine enough to run it?
Heh heh heh. A friend and I spent several days downloading Doom over 2400
BPS modems when it came out.
