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.

Jagged Alliance, Commandos, Fallout :)

ps: no idea how original versions are hard to run nowadays, even though I have JA and FO CDs, it's been like 10 years since I last had a CD drive, I just bought them again on GOG :P

    Jagged Alliance is a great idea. I think I even have those other ones on GOG, which I bet will run just fine on PCem.

    About games hard to run, back on Win7 I couldn't get Dark Colony installer to run with any compatibility mode (luckily, you can run the game just by copying the files from the CD). StarCraft had some graphics issue but just on menus (I think on Win10 as well), and I couldn't play Outwars at all (although GOG version has some fix for modern Windows). A GOG game I bought that I couldn't run on modern windows was Slave Zero.
