Old Classics on Chromebooks??

I got a Chromebook not too long ago, and I know that, compared to other computers of it's time, it is a quite slow computer. Having said that, I'm not berating it. Quite the opposite, I broke the hinge (and also the screen) on my Windows 10 machine and this Chromebook has saved me from being Computerless. Now, I realize that my Chromebook can't handle most of today's games, I do believe that it can handle most of yesteryear's games. Back in the day I was playing Wolfpack and Jane's 688 on a 286 with like 4k RAM and on a hard drive that I KNOW was smaller than the drive on my Chromebook. I don't

Does anyone know if any of the 80's or 90's era games are available on Chromebook?

And, yes, I do know what forum I'm in. So I'm obviously not looking for Donkey Kong or the original Pac-Man.
And I'm also aware that Chromebooks are mainly a tool just to get you online via the web browser. But they ARE, after all, computers with an OS. It just happens to be the ChromeOS. It would be so cool if it was possible
But that's a topic for a different forum.

Or is it?

Can you run Defend-Reloaded on it? I run all my DOS games using it! That includes flight sims and Sub-Sims! It runs on both 32 bit and 64 bit systems!

I copied i688 Hunter Killer from Win7 32 bit to 64 bit and it worked fine! You should download the ISO file, use that to install the Software! That's how I did Fs2004!

My Original Disk was bought at Half-Price Books New!
