Thanks for all the replies!
I'm confident that WC 3-4 and Longbow along with 'newer' games such as ATF and F-22 will run on my P3 system NP in DOS 7.x, so I suppose we can count those out for this build. I would even consider swapping out my P3 1ghz for a P2 CPU, any speed. Actually, that system consists of:
P3 1Ghz in a MSI Slotkey adapter
Asus P2B
256 PC133 SDRAM
Monster MX300 (W9x only)
CL ISA SB16 w/Real QPL3 (in W9x and DOS)
Slot DVD Drive
3.5 floppy
2x STB 8MB Voodoo 2 in SLI
GF Ti4600
3Com 10/100 NIC
USB ZIP 100
Also have a Roland SC-55 mkII, MT-32 and a Yamaha MU-80 connected this this box as well.
I'm suppose I'm more focused on some DOS games that may be speed sensitive. I'd really like to stay away from DOSbox as well; I know its convenient, but to me, nothing beats real hardware. And since I already have lots of parts at my disposal, I'd really like to build a system to accommodate. I have a partial built 486/66 which, by turning off the 'turbo' button, will run WC1 wonderfully. However, this particular system is lacking in some key features, therefore I'm deciding to build a better system.
I definitely want to play F-117A along with the rest of the Microprose sims from that era; I missed out on most of those during my childhood. Watching this video on Youtube was enough to grab me 😀 . I fondly remember playing M1 Abrams on the Sega Genesis and having a blast, so I found the DOS copy to play at some point as well.
Mech 2 is another concern; I was able to get the Pentium version running on my P3 box without issues, however I really wanted to mess around with the 3DFX version; I did follow the guide to get it working on my V2 system (bat file and V1 drivers) but every time the engine initializes, I get a black screen with sound. If I was able to get that working, we could knock that off the list as well. All the Id games along with any build engine game work fine on my P3 box too, so I've got those covered.
