I've used PCEmu a bit but not 86box..  I should probably give it a try.  I have some old DOS games I like to play sometimes, and DOSBox or DOSBox-X usually works okay for those though.  Not too long ago, I also found the Amiga version of Lemmings packaged up with an Amiga emulator with a batch file all set up to make it easy to run, and I thought that was pretty cool..

I like being able to run retro games & other software.  At the same time, I was thinking about it recently, and when I was originally using all that software in the 90s, one reason I was into it was because it was new and cutting-edge, which was exciting.  Now I like running that stuff for nostalgia, and because I still like it.  I still like playing with new cutting-edge stuff, and although that excitement is still there sometimes, it also feels a bit different these days.
