        I've had intermittent success.  Stuff that is noted as working
on their web pages works pretty well (Jedi Knight II, Diablo II, and
Black & White).  Some stuff that's not specifically noted as working
runs pretty well (relevant to your question would be some educational
software; `Sesame Street Create & Draw in Elmo's World' and
`Jump*Start Preschool' to name two).  Other stuff doesn't work
(SimGolf, Freedom Force, Battle Realms).


        For the price (15$ for 3 months) it's worth it if it'll run
what you're interested in.  I'd let my subscription lapse a few months
back and just renewed for another three months when this latest (2.1)
version came out that runs B&W and Warcraft III (which I'm probably
picking up real soon now).
