Some dual boot MacOS with wine running on Rosetta2 would likely be the best option.
don't want an extra box just for a couple old games.

I'm as surprised as you are that it works so well.
For anyone who's unsure, here's a demo someone made of Parallels vs Crossover on an M1 Chip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oet8GoDopVcLast edited by Mitch; 16 December 2021, 06:06 PM.

It's about the same experience you'd expect using Steam Proton on an x86 Linux install. For example, Skyrim still needs that weird launch option to fix the audio situation just like Proton.
