The glory days where the old guard 486 was making it's last stand against the Pentium upstart, and beating it. I remember that point of time well. It also kind of represented the last stand of DOS too.

Old SD Card (close enough) - never broadcast long raw interview with a B-list celebrity. Old Mac - video and music clips for some unknown music band, in the format for some ancient video/audio editing software that no longer exists (could view as it was still installed). Some old 286 that came from …

Planescape Torment. I've missed it when it was a hit but on the other hand I had Arcanum and I love it. Is it "popular" though? It had a small rave following, but it was not a widespread hit IIRC. I note a number of games in this thread are just examples of "games I don't like" not "popular games …

Almost all button-mashing action-adventures. Assassins Creed, Witcher, etc, etc. Also don't care for Battle Royales, Minecrafts, etc.

Between EPIC, Gog and Steam I have way more games than I will ever play. And I have a large boxed collection of different games too, and loose CDs. Luckily I have ranked my top ten games from every year from 80s through to 2021 so I have limited myself to what I consider the best games from every …

Maybe each os/game or era. I don't see the benefit of including any other OS other than 98... XP and 2000 are the same, and there shouldn't be any differences between the operating systems with the same driver revision. The exception is ATI cards which oddly have support for table fog with the …
