Well, usually when I hear about something, it turns out everyone knows about it already.

But this is too good so I'll post about it all the same. Since I haven't heard about it before there might just be someone else like me too.

DosBox is an excellent DOS emulator can be used in different platforms. It is great for having old DOS games run on new PCs. Unlike "slow down CPU" programs, it takes care of everything, sound, music, speed, mouse... they run with sound, and at the right speed, just like they would've on older PCs they were built for.

I used it to run some older games which I thought would be impossible to run on my new PC. All run great. Although I heard there were some issues with a few games on some PCs I haven't encountered any yet.

Hope someone finds this useful too.
