Hi, I am searching for Games that will run on my UNISYS-CWD 486/66 on my Win95 setup, so there will only be enough power for very early win95 games and win3x games.
Pitfall the Mayan Adventure is far to slow... Priates Gold for Windows does work but requires 256color-Mode. (normally I choose 16Bit HiColor and 640x480)

I have a quadro-boot (Dos622/NT351/WIN95A/OS2WARP3) and only search for win3x/win9x games here.

then the games from 20 squares onwards should be windows

Two games I like a lot that work fine on Windows 95 on a 486DX2 are Age of Empires (I) and Westwood Monopoly. I know the system requirements say that you need at least a Pentium 90 for Age of Empires, but I honestly haven't had any issues with Age of Empires on my Olivetti Philos (486DX2) yet. 😀

Almost everything before 1997 that's not called Quake. Better VLB+CDROM up for all those SVGA video adventure games.
Even for early Pentiums Win95 hogged to much resources so a lot of games were still dos based, hell even win95's Pinball is laggy
I would think anything aimed at Win3x will be fine though, The some of the games in the Windows Entertainment packs can be pretty fun.
I remember playing Return Fire which requires Win95 against my brother on our DX2 66 back in the day, its not smooth but playable.
but yeh dos is where this PC really wants to play
