Looking through my mom’s storage room I found these games I played long time ago. Gotta figure out how to play these games on my win11 64-bit machine.

Hey All,

I've been wanting to build an old school RTS game for 486/pentium machines. It is written in C++ and using DirectDraw so that it will work on Windows 95 machines.

There is still a lot to go but I've got it working in a web browser and would love some feedback. The interface and design needs a lot more work but the basic game play and path finding should work well now.

Let me know what you think, it is called IronField https://starrts.vogonswiki.com/ironfield/

I will be posting exe/win9x versions once I have tested on my Pentium 233MMX machine.

I remember getting for PC a whole bundle of games that came in 2 soft disc containers that had 50 (?) cd rom edutainment games total. I know the Zoombinis, Math Attack by Compedia, and Carmen Sandiego: Math Detective, and Invention Highway are included. I also think it had the CD Rom Encyclopedia Britannica in it as well. Does anyone remember what the collections name was?

My dad is giving me his collection of physical PC games since I’ve become a collector of physical media…most of the games I grew up playing on the old family computer.

They all have the CD Keys for each still so I am wondering, are progress/accounts tied to the Keys? For example, Battlefield 2 (one of my favorite) is the account I used to play on it tied to the CD key?

Or how all does that work really

Finally found the 8 CD collection of DA: Pursuit of Justice, but it needs a real Win95 environment to run. Never set one up before, so need help

what do i do? VirtualBox, PCem, 86box? also curious if there's anything weird with video drivers on FMV games I should watch out for, or if this game specifically has any installer/CD issues people have run into.

also not sure if this is even the right sub for this, so let me know if I should post somewhere else. any help is appreciated, been wanting to play this one forever
