Just for sh_t & giggles (as my friend says), has any one install MS-DOS and play some of those games that ran only in DOS?

I would do it, but I can't find my MS-DOS 6.22 disks Not to mention I wouldn't know how to install a sound card and CD-ROM support.

Look into running "Q"

Easier than Q or MSDOS - when I last owned a Windows machine, I used dosbox (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1)

Go to abandonia (http://www.abandonia.com) for license-free DOS games.

By the way, dosbox works on Macs too. It's still PPC-only but I was able to compile the source for my Intel Mac, and it sped it up considerably.
