I spent some time setting up a Pentium II with Windows 98 and a Voodoo 3 on PCem this weekend.

It’s really cool software, and a fun little project.

I spent a little time playing some Rainbow 6 (crazy how much the genre has changed over time) and Castle of the Winds 2.

Black and White runs well, but has some pretty bad audio stutter that I’ll have to figure out a solution for.

Do you have a favorite game from the period that I should try? I’m particularly interested in ones that are hard to run on modern versions of Windows.

    Interstate 76. I haven’t been able to get it working on any machine after the mid 2000s.

      I have it from GOG, but the control mapping is still pretty bad IIRC.

      I should really give it a go here, good idea.

        I have it on gog too, but I’ve been on Linux since 2009 and it just throws wine errors every time. The last time I was able to play it was on a Pentium M laptop I had from 2006 or something.

            I’ve only tried wine and GE-proton through Heroic, Lutris and Bottles. Always gives some wine error.

            I’ve never tried it through Steam.
