Why don't you try it and find out?

However, several of those are not DOS games.

The answer is: "probably".

But listen to Jorpho: always, always try something as simple as this for yourself before asking for help or advice. Only when it doesn't work should you ask for help.

And if it doesn't work, don't be one of those people who just posts "it dosnt workk hlp me pls". We need details if we are to help you.

It works in Windows 98. In Windows XP OpenGL doesn't work.

😒 It would probably work with various display settings turned all the way down.

If you Google the system requirements, you will find that it requires 16 MB minimum.

This laptop sucks. 591 points in 3DMark 2000 in Windows 98. I will use Pentium III 733 PC with 384 MB RAM and ATI Radeon 9600XT 128 MB for old games. Even Quake 2, GP 500... lagging on 1024x768 on this laptop.
