pcem or box86 with freedos, for somewhat accurate experience.
dosbox-x or dosbox-staging for playing games specifically.
These are both forks of dosbox, as that is dead and has been for a decade or so. They've had releases, but no real progress.
They're actively hostile to outside collaborators (thus the forks), and basically censor the vogons forums they moderate to hide the existence of forks[0]. Scummy.
