As we cover something similar for web browsers, I thought i'd start one about games that are Free Software. Latest versions only. No source ports (otherwise this list would be cluttered with them) and no media-only projects (no binary = no assurance of compatibility), only exceptions being sole implementations (i.e. cdogs sdl)
Since I can't really make a table list here, i'll go in order from earliest windows to work a game.
"Out-of-the-box" OSes tested without KernelEx and service packs.
Entries in green also work on NT4.
Windows 95:
A7xpg
Gunroar 0.15
Kobo Deluxe 0.5.1
Hex-a-Hop 1.1.0
Meritous 1.1
Mirror Magic II v2.0.2**********
mu-cade v1.11
noiz2sa v0.51
Ri-Li 2.0.1
Torus Trooper v0.22
Titanion v0.3
Windows 95B (IE3 installed)::
SolarWolf
Windows 95C (IE4 installed):
Armagetron Advanced v0.2.8.3.4*
Windows 98SE (IE5 installed, DirectX 6.1, Winsock 2):
Alex the Allegator 4 v1.1
Crticial Mass aka Critter
Cube 2005_08_29
Dope Wars 1.5.12
Which Way Is Up? v0.7.0
Windows Me (IE5.5 installed, DirectX 7.1, Winsock 2):
PowerManga 0.8
Windows 98/ME with KernelEx and DirectX9 installed (Unlikely to ever work in Win95):
Nexuiz 2.5.2
OpenArena 0.8.8
Overgod
Could be fixed:
rRootage (game and SDL recently got recompiled with a newer GCC)
Parsec47 (same as rRootage)
Tumiki Fighters (SDL got replaced with a newer recompile, take an older dll to drop in and it'll work on 95 again)
Previous versions that worked on Win9x not too long ago:
FreeCiv 2.2.7 SDL
OpenTTD 1.8.0 (last version with a Win9X build)
Hopelessly broken:
BZFlag
C-Dogs SDL (SDL2)
Nethack 3.6.0 (requires Windows 7)
Sauerbraten
Warsow
Xonotic
* - requires IE4
** - requires Winsock 2
**********- there's also a dos version of this
