16-BIT COLOR WINDOWS GAMES

All games tested using Direct3D acceleration and it is implied for each game. Additional or alternative acceleration and/or exceptions may be noted beside the game. Games which can be rendered without a 3D accelerator in 16bit color depth will be noted with "DirectDraw/Software," though it's possible for some of those same games to support hardware acceleration in color depths greater than 16bit.
