Oh nice. I really hope they bring other Microsoft Home titles to the Archive. I keep an old 32-bit laptop exclusively to run titles like Microsoft Dinosaurs that just don't work right on a 64-bit processor.

- causality0 5y agoIt's laggy and unpleasant. While it's almost certainly due to my own ignorance, I've never gotten a VM of Windows 95/98 to be anything near as responsive and smooth as it was on 25-year-old hardware, not to mention the goalposts seem to keep moving and every few years I find my VM setup is no longer compatible with my current version of Windows. At the moment running Windows 98SE on Ryzen is totally broken, with a dozen different potential fixes none of which work for everyone. VMs are just one big pile of bullshit after another if all you want to do is run a handful of classic software titles. If Archive.org took care of that whole aspect for me it'd be nice.
