it is quite expensive, but i myself have done it, and its well worth the money.

step 1. Buy an apple imac, or a mac mini if you prefer.

step 2. buy a program called Paralells desktop (it allows you to install windows on a mac, and let you run it in a window)

step 3. install Windows 98 or windows 95 on said computer

step 4. install older game on windows 98, 95 etc

enjoy!

the only thing is, if your game runs on floppy disks, you cant really do it, unless you can buy a USB floppy drive nowadays (none of my games are on floppys, except gobliiins 3)

like i said its expensive (at least £400) but windows runs perfectly, and is very fast.

well worth it.
