But technically, I could get DU to pull up on the 386, I used to have skillz when I was a kid.

I had to edit the autoexec.bat file to get it to run certain things.

But yes, if you want to get most classic adventure / strategy games to play on a PC like Dune 2, Space Quest, etc. you need an x86 or DOS Box
