Apple Thoughts: Old Mac Emulator For Your iPhone

"The mini vMac emulator was originally an OS X app which has been ported to the iPhone by Named Fork. This app emulates the Mac Plus hardware but you will need to provide your own OS. With Mini vMac installed and your Mac OS disk image installed, you will effectively have a proper Mac Plus at your disposal ready to be loaded up with classic apps and games."

When I was growing up, I definitely wanted a Mac more than anything else. My parents couldn't afford it, though, so I had a Commodore Vic 20, then a Commodore 64, then my first Wintel machine came along in 1992 or so. I guess if I really wanted to time travel, I could jailbreak my phone and install this bad boy, though! The hangup, of course, is that you need to have a copy of the OS from way back when, and you need to jailbreak your phone, but if you're a classical Mac type guy, this is definitely a fun thing to have even if it's only to show off to friends!
