DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, modem etc. that are necessary for running many old DOS programs and games incompatible with any modern OS.
Alternatively, Portable DOSBox is also available.

Smurf, that looks sweet, if it is portable I suggest this be added to database. (possibly as a replacement?)
There's a note:
D-Fend Reloaded may be installed in a portable operation mode (for USB-Sticks etc.).
My eyes lit up when I read that.
Frontend and easier config can be found here http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/
If you still have old MS-DOS games lying around, play them through DOSBox. It's awesome.
Theyve released a launcher here

I have updated the extraction instructions. Chris Morgan had pointed out that DOSBox is not portable if launched without any command-line switches.
