AccessPC will only let you access files.  If you need to run DOS applications, 
then you need SoftPC.  SoftPC will allow you to run any XT or AT compatible 
DOS software.  Games in general work a little slow and jerkily on it.  If the
program tries to bypass BIOS you may also have problems running it.
