How do I play MS-DOS games?

Erm I want to play some old MS-DOS games I have on CD like Little Big Adventure and Magic Carpet 2.

Does anyone know a good emulator type programme that I can use to run these classics?

definately DOSbox

Seriously... I could write up a synopsis of how to set up DOSBox in probably two or three paragraphs. It's easy as **** once you stop closing your mind and telling yourself it's too complicated for you.
