Most new games just don't have the playability of old games that's why I prefer old school games. Here's a couple worth looking at but they don't come under the title 'no one else seems to care about'

Megadrive:

Shining Force 2
Populous 2
Mega-Lo-Mania
Rock n Roll Racing
Toejam and Earl

Snes:

Super Mario World
Street Fighter 2
Killer Instinct
 

Epsi

Zoo Keeper
I loved Populous 2! god completely forgot about that game. I think Syndicate and Dungeon Keeper can make a come back, loved those games.
 

Spellsong

Gray Mage
Well you said old school. Very underrated games. I played these back when I was 10, and was addicted. I loved them.


(Macintosh)

Dungeon of Doom/The Dungeon Reveled (Great dungeon Crawl RPG)
Mathstorm (A educational game, but its a game that brings back memories.)
Midnight Rescue (Same as above made by the same people)
Scab of RA
Lode Runner
Escape Velocity (Ironically a very popular mac game in school)
Amazon Trail
The Carmen Sandiego games.


Yes there are Macintosh emulators, it can emulated up to Mac OS 9. Plus I found a nice site full of mac games, but can't post here. But there abandonware so its not so bad.


(C64 and Apple II)


Questron I and II (I is hard as hell, but had to cheat by using save states)
Legacy of the Ancients (Best RPG I ever played IMO)
Choose your Adventure games for the Apple II.
Fictional Stories with RPG elements.


That is all I can think of for now.

I think I have the Zork games somewhere on my HD.. Never played them though.

I miss being able to play games like Kroz, but none of the CPU slowers I've tried ever seen to work, and DOSBox is too finnicky, it's either too slow or too fast

CPU slowers? Why not get a old computer? at a fleamarket for computers type deal thing i go to i can easily get Mhz computers without HDs for about 50$ that work just fine.

if its a pc game for an old operating system you should use this instead:

its a program called virtualPc that microsoft made available for free. i use it to play my old copy of magic the gathering (windows 95)

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx

you just need an iso of the operating system on your hard drive (or on a disk) and then you set up a virtual hard drive (similar to the memory cards used by playstation emulators) which allocates a lilttle hard drive space to memory. the setup is quite easy. then you can boot your OS just like it was installed on your pc.

my choice for games:

Megadrive (Genesis):
Comix Zone
Puyo Puyo 2
kid chameleon

Nes:
Adventures of Dizzy
3d world runner
mega man V

sadly all i can think of right now.

Yes and no... Read below:

First things first. There is no DOS in Windows XP! What is called the "command prompt" is not really DOS ... it can be thought of as more of a simulation of DOS. Windows XP (and Windows 2000), unlike Windows 95, 98, and ME, are NOT built on an MSDOS foundation. So, while this makes for better speed and stability, it also makes for sometimes lousy backwards compatibility.

However, have no fear! This page will hopefully help you to get the majority of DOS games running under XP. Of course, it's important to remember that some games just won't work on your modern computer, no matter how hard you try, so don't be too disappointed. ;) Also please keep in mind that these tips are for Windows XP only ... for more general tips on getting games to run, please read the DOSGAMES.com Frequently Asked Questions page. Thanks!
