I haven't seen a good list of games that actually work out of the box using the method Phil shows here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFBKwdtJ6uA
Now i'm sure it'd be possible to correct some that i've listed under "PROBLEMS" by using information from the "install_script.iss" but personally I can't make heads or tails out of it.
If you can figure out how to fix any of the games listed or have tested any I dont own myself, feel free to reply!

WORKING:
SWAT 4: Gold Edition
setup_swat4_gold_2.0.0.4.exe
Single player and Local multiplayer work perfectly

Anno 1602 A.D.
setup_anno_1602_2.0.0.6.exe
Single player working (Dont change resolution during gameplay though, use the config.exe before playing)
Mulitplayer untested

Lords of the Realm: Royal Edition
setup_lords_of_the_realm_cd_2.1.0.7.exe
setup_lords_of_the_realm2_2.1.0.32.exe
Seems to work perfectly

Master of Orion II
setup_master_of_orion2_2.1.0.18.exe
Seems to work perfectly

Jagged Alliance 2
setup_jagged_alliance_2_1.12_(17794).exe
Work perfectly but you need to move the "smackw32.dll" from "/__support/add" folder to the main

Final Liberation: Warhammer® Epic 40,000
setup_wh40k_final_liberation_2.0.0.4.exe
There will be a pop up asking you to run setup each time starting, but the Singleplayer works just fine
Multiplayer untested

SEMI-FUNCTIONAL:
Diablo
setup_diablo_1.09_(27873).exe
Single player working - but you need to move the "Diabdat.mpq" from the main folder to the "/dx" folder and set up a shortcut to the Diablo.exe from the "/dx" folder to play
Trying to start multiplayer breaks the game

PROBLEMS:
Theme hospital
setup_theme_hospital_1.0.0.4.exe
setup_theme_hospital_2.1.0.8.exe
Complains it cant find a CD, even if a TH CD is present.

System Shock 2
setup_system_shock_2_2.47_nd_(22087).exe
Doesn't extract files as expected.

Outcast
setup_outcast_18970_(19502).exe
Doesn't extract files as expected.

Earth 2140 Trilogy
setup_earth_2140_1.0_(19593).exe
Doesn't extract files as expected.

Ah that one dodged my search, thanks for the welcome though!

Also know that this subforum is for Windows games on *modern* systems. You should ask old hardware and old OS related questions in Marvin: Marvin, the Paranoid Android

My bad, I don't see a way to move the thread so i'll need to wait for an admit to possibly shift it

Perhaps admins should note more specifically that this forum is for Windows 7 and later?
