I've thought about finding a machine that'll do both 90s and early 2000 games like he shows, but so far Dosbox has worked for me for all but 1 game.
Still a great video for us nostalgic 90s PC gamers.  How I play old PC GAMES in 2021 (Win98 / WinXP / Windows 10) |

I have original hardware all the way back to 1977... so there's that.

GOG has aot of the old games and they work on modern computers. I finally beat one of my favorites from back in the day, Dungeon Keeper 2. Great concept for a strategy game.
I dont have a CD ROM anymore. So installing original games isn't possible for me. Plus, some of those CDs are not working. There is something fun about firing up an old computer to play though. |

I loved dungeon keeper 2. I have it somewhere but can’t find it. I found the box and manual but no cd. Do you have a copy? |

If you have RetroArch, download the DOSBox Pure core, play DOS games.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Convert the physical CDs into ISO files and mount them with emulator software (Windows 10 has that built-in actually). You'll need a cd drive for that conversion though. But you can get a USB drive for under $30. Then you can convert to ISO so you don't need a cd drive. Which you now have... |
