Well, the only reason I can think of, to emulate PC and DOS, is to be able
to run games available for The Ultimate Microsoft Tetris-loader. Not a bad

[Some folklore: commercial system V DOS emulators always advertise how they
can run lots of business programs, the Mach DOS emulator advertised how it
can run word perfect and lots of different games :-) ].
