The article is about bugs in emulators, not the games they emulate.

  It is more about emulation accuracy than out and out bugs. It is about how certain games behaves in ways that may or may not be bugs in a strict sense, but still go outside the expected environment set down by the hardware documentation while still functioning on the actual hardware. So be it cmd in Windows, or Dosbox, if one want to run the unmodified SimCity binary from back then it will have to allow it to access ram after it was freed. Because when it worked back then, but do not work now, where is the incorrect behavior (or bug if you will) actually located?

    The goal of an emulator is to reproduce the behaviour of the original machine, whether that behaviour was expected by it's designers is irrelevant. If it can't do so, for whatever reason, then it's a bug as far as I'm concerned.
