I've recently gotten the idea to try and play older but still active Massive Multiplayer Online games on Windows 95/98/XP machines.
I just think the idea of being able to play on an active online world on period correct hardware would be really novel and may give me a sense of what players felt playing those games on CRTs.
I'm not talking MUDs, but 2D/3D games online games that came out around the 1995s to 2005s.
MMOs that came out around that timeframe often had clients still supporting Win98 and even 95 if they came out early enough.
A surprising amount of games from that area are still online, some even appear pretty active with a decent amount of players.
Often there are Windows 7 and windows 10 clients available and a few games also provide "Classic" clients that work on the hardware and operating systems from around release.
I'm thinking of making a list of older MMOs with working clients that still function on Windows x9 and XP.
I would appreciate help in expanding this list! When I got the time I will be adding entries.
