Last Intel chipset support: 920 (partial), 875 (full).

If your's PC is above these requirements - there is no way to run Win9x properly. No drivers.

Why don't you tell us what the games are? There might be a way of getting them to run that isn't quite so labor intensive. As Mr. Pusher suggests, generally a virtual machine is the way to go.

Just to add, VMWare Player is free. But you can't stretch full screen in VMWare Player (needs VMWare Workstation for that), iirc.

And yeah, I'll be interested to know what those games are.

All three of those are available from GOG.com (I think), so they can probably be made to run under Windows 7 one way or another.

Are you having problems getting the games installed? See http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10988 .

Journeyman Project Turbo should work on 7, unless it's a 64-bit system, but it requires 256 colour mode. Nevertheless I can confirm the first two parts are working flawlessly under VirtualPC with Windows 98 installed. If I recall correctly I also tried running the third one on 7, and it worked, but it had terribly choppy audio, because of DirectSound acceleration, which, to my knowlegde, cannot be turned off in Vista/7/8.
