Dosbox (http://www.dosbox.com/) is an X86 emulator with DOS. It emulates a
DOS environment very well. From their web page:

DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes DOSBox very
easy to port to different platforms. DOSBox has already been ported to many
different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, MacOS X...

DOSBox also emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, Directory
FileSystem/XMS/EMS, Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics, a
SoundBlaster/Gravis Ultra Sound card for excellent sound compatibility with
older games...

You can "re-live" the good old days with the help of DOSBox, it can run
plenty of the old classics that don't run on your new computer!

DOSBox is totally free of charge and OpenSource.
