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.

Not sure if this counts, but Privateer 2 : The Darkening is one of my favourite games of all time and its a pain in the ass to run on modern systems.

Its a DOS game so I'm not sure if it counts, but still.

Oh, I played the original Privateer and loved it. I'll definitely give this a go, thanks!

This reminds me: I was thinking of "Independence War Deluxe", because sheesh, I couldn't even get that running from a PC Gamer demo CD on release-era hardware LOL.
