I'd consider a 486DX2/66 w/4MB of memory,
especially with a VLB disk
controller and VLB video card plus a 16-bit Sound Blaster to be a very
nice platform for exploring the pre-1995 commodity computing world.
I keep a legacy ISA 5x86/133 around with a 16-bit SB and VLB video for
DOS games I haven't yet found Mac equivalents for, although I have managed
to collect many Mac ports of my favourite old games. Particularly for older
titles such as id's original 2D platformer engines, they won't work at all
on PCI motherboards (Bio Menace comes to mind).
