Windows 9x games

[JFekete9076]

Hello.

I am looking for old Windows games (each one should fit on a CD). I would like to test Wine's Windows 95/98 compatibility.
I just want a list of some games.

Best regards.

GOG.com has a raft of Windows and DOS games for cheap, and it's not a license--you OWN the game.):P

Sim Copter. ;)

That game made me waste hours of my life. It wasn't even that good!

Well, it was if you just killed civilians and messed about instead of playing the game properly.

Diablo 2 - it's platinum i believe. though it's on 3 CDs

Half Life (on 1 CD) - Platinum

TES3: Morrowind - Gold

Diablo 2 - Released in 2000.
Morrowind - Released in 2002.
Halo CE - Released in 2001.

It's very likely that these were all made for W2K/XP.

Half-Life 1 however was released in 1998. Even on the System Requirements on Steam it says that you need at least Windows 95 to run it, and Steam doesn't even run on Windows 95. It even comes with an OpenGL option, so it'll at least run SEMI-natively on Linux through Wine :wink:

Also, Halo: CE requires at least Windows 98 I might add.

Big Rigs. No clipping through the entire game is so much fun.

Any DOS game. (Specifically, I recommend Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, Quake, Zeliard, Beneath a Steel Sky, System Shock, and The Secret of Monkey Island.)

Sim Ant.

OK i am not sure about Halo but i played Diablo 2 and Morrowind on Win98. I only got XP 4 years ago...

You know usually they make games a bit backwards compatible to cover larger audience. Morrowind needs i think 256MB, Win98 and a P3, Diablo needs Windows
233 MHz Pentium or better, 32 MB RAM (try running Xp on that).

ah and here are the Halo1 Requirements:

"Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Second Edition, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me)," etc.

so yeah they are not made per se for 98 but they sure work in win98.

Which virtualization software supports Windows 9x as guest the most?
I've found out that some of them (e. g. VirtualBox) dropped support of Windows 95/98.

Not true - I have VirtualBox 4.0.2 installed and it lets me choose all the way back to Windows 3.1 - which was released in 1992 fyi.

I'll give it a try.

Installed VBox 4.0.4 last night and I still see the option to install Windows all the way back to Windows 3.1. AFAIK the only virtualization platform that dropped Win95/98 support _officially_ is Microsoft/Windows Virtual PC.

According to this, guest additions aren't provided for Windows 98.

Tomb Raider 1 - 3, Thief the Dark Project, Age of Empires and Gangsters: Organized Crime were my favorite pre-millenium PC games that I can remember off the top of my head :).

Mechwarior2. It's both a DOS game and Win95. I think Mechwarrior2, 3, and 4 may have been released for free in the not too distant past.
