Sorry, what else to call this topic? This is just so cool it deserves a mention here, the list of games is impressive and some of my all time absolute NOSTALGIC MANLOVE, are right there (Oh Cannon Fodder, how i have missed you..)
Considering getting Cannon fodder 1 or 2 to work on vista or xp is like getting blood from a stone, that came from the lost city of Atlantis, i'm quite impressed with this idea.
LiveDosGames is a free, portable, fast Linux Operating System, which contains old, but legendary Dos games. It's small, so it can be stored on an USB stick, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't contain the everyday, general programs(Media Player, Picture Viewer etc.). If you would miss something(Games, different editors etc.) then with a click you can activate it, and it automatically puts itself to the menu, it doesn't need any installation and configuring.

Ok so i haven't actually tried it yet, but it's in PC Gamer magazine so it must be cool
It can boot from either a CD or USB pen, it doesn't mess with your OS or the computer you're running it on, it just boots and has internet access etc etc. Lovely.
Well worth checking out. Just hope it works as well as it seems.
