Runs a virtual machine with a DOS style layer, perfect for running most of your old games.

also

http://www.scummvm.com/

is a replacement game engine for SCUMM based games and will play older Lucasarts based SCUMM games as well as Broken Sword 1 & 2. Monkey Island 1 and 2 works a treat on it with full sound, didnt crash once.
Yes those last two are excellent. However there are a lot of other games that aren't supported by them.

My son just got a copy of Lucas's Full Throttle last week and it works beautifully on the Scummvm engine. I must have a go at that.
