I use(d) DOSBOX, but it isn't even fast enough for “Dime City” – the simple video sequences are terribly slow. My G3 is a Power Mac G3 B&W with stock 350 MHz, Mac OS X 10.4.11 and an upgraded graphics card Radeon 9200 PCI and maxed out 1 GB PC100 memory. Might be the processor. If you don't have a lot more than 350 MHz you may be disappointed by the performance of DOSBOX. The emulation takes a lot of time. Even so, simple games might be playable/enjoyable. Don't know if “Civil War 2” and “Harpoon II” fall into that category. For your Windows game I'd suggest an older version of Virtual PC. But, like DOSBOX, the performance will be very limited. Even with Windows 95. Anything from 4.0 onward is propably a good choice, depending on your needs and taste.
