I doubt it, but PC Games will not work unless they are designed for the specific processor... Unless there is a DOS emu... What device are you using?

Linux games with low requirements should run fine. I have not had the available disk space to test that stuff yet. Pretty much, stay away from sdl and opengl. Then test what is left.
