Unreal; and later, Deus Ex, based on Unreal too :D.
But Windows 2000 was much better for gaming. NT4 supported DX3 and DX5 unnoficially'.
W2k had a DLL call flag to enable a Windows XP like compat mode:

It only worked on desktop shortcuts, but enough to run most quirky Win95/98 games.
- hnfong 1y agoI think Unreal Tournament ran on NT4 as well. Despite Win2k and NT4 kinda having a rep for not for gaming, I found that most games actually did run on them fine. Especially Win2k, probably the most underrated OS of all time in the Windows lineup.
- chungus_khan 1y agoReally I think it got that rep mostly from people trying to run DOS games or shoddy ports from DOS to early Windows that still relied on a bunch of DOS stuff.
- hnfong 1y agoI always suspected Microsoft tried to market it as such otherwise their Windows ME (remember that sh1t?) wouldn't sell...
- anthk 1y agowin2k's support for games was miles ahead of NT4 because of DX 8.1? support. If not DX8, DX7 0a was for sure supported.
