Depends on the type of Mac and what you want to do.
If you want to just run DOS games… I would try them under DosBox first. It’s free and it works well.
If it’s all sorts of old games, like Windows 3.X games, games that boot off of a disk, games for OS/2, etc… Then you want either Virtual PC (for Power Macs), Parallels (for Intel Macs), or Apple’s Boot Camp (for Intel Macs – This is also free).
Please be aware that none of these solutions are perfect for running old games. So I recommend trying a few games with DosBox and with trial versions of Virtual PC and Parallels.
