What are some good 3D games that require windows95/98, but work (or can be set to work) at 640*480 8bit color mode(256 colors)? (Software rendering, no 3dfx/openGL/d3d)

Some games that I already know are:
Quake2 and others using it's engine
Thief

Please help to expand the list.

Hi there! We/I need more information, I think. 🙂
- real full screen and/or fake full screen (maximized application on desktop)
- really 640x480 and/or 320x240 (ModeX)
- GDI/WinG and/or Direct3D
- Windows 3.x games, too, or Windows 95+

Hi Jo22!

I corrected original post based on what you asked. Real fullscreen or fake, i guess it doesn't matter. As long as it is really 640*480@256color. No modeX.

Hope you add nice games!
