I know I used to use Cubic Player 1.5/1.6/1.7 and ModPlug 1.1/1.2 in 1996-97. and WinAMP 1.x for MP3s of course. EDIT: Doh, realized this thread was about Win16.. The only Win16 mod player i've remember using is Ultimod and it really sucks 😀

MesaFX seemed slower for me, I only use MesaFX for the last resort compatibility aspect (i.e. some fussy SDL OpenGL games that disagree with 16-bit color and secondary devices)

You'd be limiting yourself even more if you install FreeDOS. I don't think that even boots Win3.1 yet

And it didn't strictly require a DX8.1 card with pixel shaders. A TNT2 could still run it IIRC an update to a later DirectX API doesn't necessarily mean support for older hardware is immediately shed. PowerVR PCX2 has no DX6 or 7 support and can still run AVP2 ( a DX7 game) somehow...

I thought the only way to get a program to use Voodoo OpenGL (if it doesn't explicitly support it already) is to put a copy of 3dfxvgl.dll in the game's directory and rename it to opengl32.dll. Yeah but that's for 3dfx Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 and in the rare cases of not supporting the later …

I'd recommend using a Seamonkey 1.x release over Firefox 2. For a full suite it is a faster browser. How ironic. It's also more 'retro fitting' since it retains the Netscape 4 look :) There's also specialist lite-and-break-everything browsers such as OffByOne. You might wanna try that as well, I …

Don't think I really wanna know how the game's supposed to make you "looser". It was a 3d tank game where you drove some tank up slopes (it doesn't even tilt) and you try to blow the other tank with dumbfire missiles found in crates that spawn. You can also fall out of the land and into the void. …

For the CT65555 Windows 98 has a driver for it on the CD and will install it, Win95 will need a driver obtained separately.

C&T 65K can be slow and does have some strange VESA bugs... like colors ending up blue in SVGA. Also it's hard to have a fast Windows 9X driver for it. Windows 2000 and SciTech Display Doctor allow to make full speed of it through linear framebuffer writes but SDD has stability issues in setting …
