Unfortunately, being a military brat and having to move so often, keeping things like that doesn't really work. By the time I would get around to breaking out the old computer, it was time to pack up all of our belongs and go somewhere else.
Now I really wish I could play some of those old games. I have found a few MS-DOS ports of a few of them that I've been able to play, and despite the very limited sound and graphics, the actual story really holds up.
It's like having constraints on the window dressing around the story forces developers to actually pay attention to the meat of their product.
Believe it or not, I still have the old machine - but it gets harder and harder to actually hook it up to a screen nowadays.
There are emulators out there - maybe one of those can quench your thirst for some of those really old gems?

Thinking back to how it connected to the TVs that I had, you're absolutely right. Two of my TVs don't even have a coax connection, just DVI and HDMI.
I'm not terribly worried about it since I rarely make time for the games on modern systems that I want to play.
