On the one hand, yeah, Windows can claim compatibility back so far that it does extend into the PC platform's early-ish days. After that, we quickly fall into emulators; a copy of dosbox will happily run the great hits of the 90s... I'm not actually sure how to count that, though, since it is an emulator, but also it's a relatively easy emulator to support because the platform was so much more open than iPhone (and also just simpler).
