Understatement. 20 year old PC game? Those commonly run with a compatibility layer like Wine. Old titles for DOS, Amiga, whatever? Full blown emulation because the performance requirements are absolutely trivial relative to modern hardware.
Lots of older consoles have impressive emulation efforts but it's definitely hit and miss. Such projects regularly pop up on HN.
