Old Games on Windows 10

I have separated some games from the 9X/2K/XP era that work very well on Windows 10, most of the time without the need to enable compatibility. Some games were written for MS-DOS but have officially released Win32 applications.

Dommelsch Trio
Composed of Roll, Dart and Pool (‘m UP). It was so successful by the Hall of Fame that you could submit your score to the website where your name was recorded.

3D Pinball Space Cadet
Published by Maxis in 1995, it was part of a compilation of arcade games. Being included in the Plus! pack, it became known even when incorporating the late Windows XP into its internal games.

MicroMan 2
the first one that was very successful at the time of Windows 3. It won a second version in 1999 that runs very well on Windows 10, anyone who likes a good difficulty this is highly recommended.

Zelda Forever
There's not even a connection to Nintendo's Zelda, in fact it's more of a satire, but the game is a great puzzle-style pastime.

Quake
This is more at the level of curiosity, on the final version CD the game has a win32 application (WinQuake) and a GL that runs very well on W10, BUT of course you don't need to use the original application, there are dozens of engineering that extract the most of the game.

MDK
A great game it's a shame that it doesn't have ports like Quake, Doom and others. But in the early days of 3D graphics cards like Voodoo a Win32 application was released to improve performance for systems equipped with 3dfx cards. So just the mdk3dfx file plus the glide dll and the game runs perfectly on W10. Remembering that this is the configuration that GOG uses.

Starcraft
With the arrival of the remastered version, the original Starcrfat became free, that is, you can download, install and play normally through Blizzard's app without the need for a serial or anything like that. Plus the game has fixed compatibility bugs, looking great on Windows 10.

Good one.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉
