WINDOWS 95 EMULATOR LINUX 32 BIT

If its a DOS game you can play them in the native Linux DOSBox emulator as mentioned already. Most older games that use DirectX 7 or 8 can still run nicely in Wine! If you give Wine a try you will find it has configurations for setting the OS to:

Games that don't need any 3d acceleration at all can run just fine in a VM but, unless you run into compatibility problems, Wine is usually preferable and much less of a hassle.ĮDIT: the PC Gaming Wiki has changed its name to 'AppleGamingWiki' for April Fools' lol.

The PC Gaming Wiki is another great place to find info about game compatibility and mods. Keep in mind that this database usually has very old compatibility reports and newer versions of Wine might not need any workarounds at all so only check it out if your games just refuse to run out of the box.

Games that are that old usually run better with Wine than with Windows 10 nowadays so your chances of success are pretty high. Unless a specific game has a new source port that runs natively on Linux, your best bet is Wine.
