I've been testing GOG Win9x games on my Win98 and ME boxes. Surprisingly, a vast majority of them work simply by copying the folder over. A few require some config file editing to update paths. And a few seem to have updated 32-bit executables that won't run on 9x/ME. Here's a list of the games so far that work with minimal fuss:
Arcanum
Baldur's Gate I and II
Deus Ex
Icewind Dale
Lands of Lore 3
Morrowind
Pharaoh Gold
Planescape: Torment
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Return to Krondor
X-Wing Alliance
Syberia
Undying
Unreal Gold
UT99
Unreal 2
Wizardry 8
Might and Magic 6-8 all require a newer version of Windows.
Freespace 2, SimCity 4 and Ultima 9 all have other issues that I haven't figured out yet.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.
