Why not run DOS Box? I’ve had trouble with it, but my daughter does just fine.
Deus Ex is still a great game, one of my favorites of all time.
It has a great storyline, with a lot of conspiracy predictions. More than a few of those predictions are coming close to real events happening today: the release of a pandemic virus exploited to increase govt power, the labeling of people wanting freedom from tyranny as “terrorists”, the rise of the Deep State, etc. It is almost uncanny.
Deus Ex is available on Steam, and I recommend it. There is a good review at

DukeNukem 3D. It holds up.

What is this crap fest? Screw this author. His arguments boil down to old games not being understood by new players spoiled on the latest graphics. He does have a point that today’s privileged morons have no patience for anything older than 4 minutes, (and know nothing more than 5 minutes old) but that doesn’t make it right.

Agreed; pinging you as we echoed the same sentiment.
No map for one which hampers navigation greatly and the fact that all the areas are identical doesn’t help.
I still play Might & Magic 6, 7 & 8 on PC - vintage late 90’s - especially since some smart guy mashed them together into a single game you can play through with the same characters. It’s like my “comfort game” that I return to again and again, even though I’ve beaten it many times.
I still have the old Atari games modded for PC, and all of the original NES game ROMs that I play using an emulator. I guess I prefer simplicity of play to fancy graphics and complicated interfaces. Hey - it’s my time to waste, after all.

I left gaming with “Tanks”.
Might as well play Solitaire.
Leisure Suite Larry was elected POTUS in 2020.
Download a free program called: DOSBox
It’s available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
It should allow you to run most of those old DOS games.
BTW, the Commander Keen games were awesome, good times.
