WINE has been getting a lot better recently. Not sure if they can play TIE95, but they play the old Command and Conquer games(which won't even run on Windows 2000 or XP) now. I'd suggest you try that.
NORAD doesn't have any key military members. A post somewhere else in the thread mentions that it's got maybe a few dozen people in the War Room and it's led by a one-star general. All your key Tau'ri leaders won't be in or near NORAD unless it's part of an evacuation to the Alpha Site or some sort of press tour, and if we're invaded it won't be the latter.
Although I thought of another reason NORAD should be close to the SGC. The SGC needs to be the first to know if there are Goa'uld ships out there and it would be good for them to edit the giant pyramids out of the images
I don't see why being able to monitor the airspace around North America would really be that important to a Goa'uld, it would just be a longer path to the six billion potential Tau'ri slaves, and any Goa'uld able to invade the SGC would be able to get most of NORAD's monitoring capabilities by putting a mothership around Earth orbit. And being very far down is important because, as sibling poster pointed out, we use a really big bomb for SGC self-destruct.
Actually, in the movie the Stargate was moved into Creek Mountain, Colorado. And they put the SGC beneath NORAD because it puts distance between it and the surface, and because it already has a lot of important things, like power and a secure link to the President.
