So I set up a nice Windows 3.11 (Spanish) installation, and then proceeded to test some Windows games of the era... most of them work without a hitch, provided you change res and color depth to 640x480 and 256 colors (you'll need the S3 Windows drivers to do that, naturally) and accept to install some other packages when needed, such as Video for Windows, WinG, Win32s, Quicktime...
But a few of them are causing me headaches, as it could be expected, and I wonder if anybody got them working before me, and what did it take.
The problematic games are so far:
- Deadlock: Planetary Conquest --> Installs OK, but the message "Unexpected DOS error: 21" appears whenever I try to run it.
- Fisher-Price Great Adventures: Castle --> Can't finish installation process.
- Microsoft Golf 2.0 --> Installs OK, but in the first run demands a bigger virtual memory file. I've done that, but the program keeps complaining of the same issue.
On the other hand, many other games seem to work fine, such as: Darkseed 2, Micorsoft Fury3, The Pagemaster, Civilization II, SimTower...
