Not the PocketPC itself (although Windows CE is about 10 years old by
now), but classic emulators for it. I'm sure that there are a lot of
emulations you can do on PDA platforms. One that comes to mind is the
KIM-1, or maybe even a CP/M emulator if running the PDA in "landscape"
mode.
I actually downloaded the SDK for the PocketPC platform so I can see if
I can get the Altair32 running on it. It's going to be a challenge
fitting the Altair32 into a QVGA screen.
Anyway, I felt that running the Scott Adams text adventure games in an
emulator qualified as "classic".
{OK, a bit of Googling proved that Windows CE 1.0 was introduced in
November 1996. I'm going with the fact that it was in beta in 1995).

Subject: RE: ScottFree interpreter for Pocket PC
I just got a Dell Pocket PC last week and I want to
start seeking out some "classic" stuff for it. For starters,
I've done some Googling for the adventure game interpreter
ScottFree for thr PocketPC but I've come up empty.
Does anyone have a pointer to one? Also, I'd appreciate
any links to other classic stuff for the PocketPC.
Classic? PocketPC? Kinda new for "classic".
I can help you out with Adventure for the Palm, and the palm is 10 years
old now (or more).
