Win 98 is not working as well as I had previously suggested. I own a Win98 pc but the motherboard had died on me. I own a pc game made for Win98 and it works fine. I used to play it on my old Win98 pc. The game will not run in Win98 with VirtualBox. I had to install Win 2000 pro. I'm not sure why Oracle/Open Community has not fully supported Win98 but i am suggesting that if you face a similar problem, then try Win 2k. On that note, I finally got to play my Browning African Safari game ;D I like this game. I think Cabela bought the rights to it but i like the original game. some screens from VirtualBox: now if only i could find a copy of CSI for PC, CSI 2 Dark Motives and Deer Hunter. I will be happy to have all of my old favorites again :) anyone else play African Safari? I still have my old Atari Risk II cd and i can't wait to play it too. I love Risk and the Atari Risk II is my fav pc version. Good stuff. logging off for the night. Goodnight everyone. |

For me the most problematic games are early 3D games, late 90s to early 2000s. Even with virtualization solutions, there seems to be a hardware issue. I've been advised that buying an old Voodoo graphics card solves that, anyone here have any luck with that? I've got no idea if that's even safe to do on a new system. |

I found a Tomb Raider 1 dos disc a while ago (the demo one, with a lot of demos and trailers for other games) and I could never get the thing to work (the Tomb Raider 2 demo worked though.) Honestly, sometimes the best you can do is just emulate the console version if there is one. |
