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.
