DOSBox, a x86 emulator with DOS

Ok, it’s not specifically Linux related, as this DOS emulator has been ported to Windows, BeOS, MacOS X as well as Linux, but I’m excited about it because I may be able to play Syndicate again! I couldn’t even get that DOS game to work in Windows 98 AFAIR. I had more luck running it in Dosemu, but without sound support unfortunately.
Dosbox is available on apt-rpm too, which is where I stumbled across it.

Yeah old games will do that to you … Syndicate runs fine, and a lot of other games (a lot, means … a lot, trust me)

You may also try ScummVM. Another DOS emulator. Not as good as DOSBox though.

ScummVM is not a DOS emulator.
