Awesome. Why the hell hasn't Apple allowed this stuff in the past?

I was impressed with the games, especially 7th Guest, which was twitchy as hell on an actual PC running actual DOS. That indicates an incredible level of functionality.

Now if only I could find an iPad in the trash somewhere.

I'd love to play a touchscreen compatible Warcraft II - no tedious mouse dragging, just point to the guys you want to move.

I'd like to see an Amiga emulator on the iPad.

I wish they'd just ditch that i-OS and use Windows 3.1 instead.

Warcraft 2 runs hideously on modern CPUs, although I think the Battle.net edition fixed that problem.

I wonder how well it would do on an ARM emulating a 486.
