Anybody know of any good ones? Preferably compatible with '98 and 2000.

Nevermind. Found a good one, DOSBOX (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1). Works quite well for running old DOS apps. We've got a copy of 1830, the railroad game, and the board game takes something like 5 hours to play, but if you run it on a pc or laptop and use it for the banking and to keep track of where your rail lines and railheads are, you can play a 5 or 6 man game in about an hour and a half.

Do they have that board game Axis & Allies for the computer? The huge WWII one? Is it any good for the PC?

I have the original Axis&Allies for the PC at home someplace; plays just like the board game. Fan-freakin'-tastic. Ran like a charm on '98, but I haven't played it in ages. Don't recall if I could get it up and running on XP, but I think I could. Also, they came out with an Axis&Allies Second Edition for the PC about 2 and a half years ago. There's 2 copies on e-Bay right now. I'll see if I can, er, find my backup copy of the original. I'll let ya know.
