Can I play DOS games inside a hard terminal (like the ones that open with Control+Alt+F1)?

I want to be able to close the Xsession because the PC I'm doing this is on is really slow. The PC has enough power to run Xubuntu and a dos emulator on it but I'd just like to learn if there is a way to play games with just a plain terminal.

Sure, with dosbox; enable the universe repository in Software & Updates then search it within Ubuntu Software Center, or run this command in a Terminal:

sudo apt-get install dosbox

Then switch to a TTY with, e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1 and run it with this command:

dosbox
