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.
I think it was either Manhunt (Edit: Manhunt is XP/2000 only.) or Bully that couldn't run on modern systems. Could also give Cold Zero or Swat 4 (Edit: N/M, not gonna work on 98. Maybe earlier ones?) a go, though I might be misremembering timeframes on one or more of these. Oh, and of course the original magic the gathering game (Edit: No sites to legally purchase it online but its from 1997 so prob a win98 game.) from the mid 90s.

I really should play some of the M:TG game, I remember it being a pretty great version.
