I'd rather see someone make a PC with some kind of 486 or Pentium - the best hardware compatible with old DOS games and Windows 95/98. Even in 1994 I remember a 386 was too feeble to run Windows at a nice speed, or many games.

I think, especially as you get towards "newer" vintage systems, the logical conclusion is the same one he reached - if you want a compact portable and you're okay spending a couple hundred dollars, you're probably going to be better off buying something from the time period than anything new that may be sold at that price point.
