DOS games
 
I would like to know any software that I could use quite easily (I'm not much of a professional in linux) to play old DOS games, like Prince of Persia, Goblins or something like that, I hope you get the idea.

I have had lots of luck with DOSBox

My computer must be too slow for DOSbox to run, because even Prince of Persia runs very slowly... It is said on their site, that a 400mhz intel pentium is equal to 286 in DOSbox, and I have only 350MHz pentium, so maybe there are other software like
DOSbox, but with lesser requirements?

Maybe you can try DOSEMU... I don't kno what performance hits it has, but maybe it'll be better. Otherwise I would recommend putting freedos on your system instead of (or along side) linux.
