This will allow you to play old DOS games on any PC.

But yes, that old system will be fine for older games. If you can get hold of an old version of Windows (95/98) so much the better. But quite frankly, DOSBox is the easiest way to get those old titles running.

Well... I know about dosbox and everything, but my main question is would quake and duke nukem 3d be playble on PCI - C&T 65555 chip ( that chip is without 3d acceleration i think) and would it be good for example interstate 76 , this is a LAPTOP!!! :))

Can't say for sure, I never owned anything like it. No harm in trying I suppose, provided you don't waste too much time, effort or money.
