Sorry

It is possible to play some windows/dos games in linux. There's a program called Winex made by TransGaming Technologies that allows a good number of windows games to run through linux without emulation, which normally makes things slow way down. Instead they've created their own copy's of the windows files that games normally interact with, for example the direct X libraries. It's not perfect, but it does work. I've not tried it on my own computer yet, but I intend to when I'm more confident I can install it properly.

Something else I have been trying is called dosbox and according to the lists it runs a huge number of dos games. There's also dosemu, but I haven't managed to install that yet...
