NTVDM is useful, but only for the most basic software. For example, many programs do not work on NTVDM because of the limited audio and video support. You mentioned games, and I believe some of them suffer from timing issues (though this may be the games' fault for relying on a specific clock frequency for timing).
I'd say it's just good enough for the most useful 16-bit Microsoft utilities.
