| 1127022 | 2010-08-12 02:13:00 | Just out of interest, is there a way to play these? They are games. I know there is DOS Box but that wouldn't work right .... Also, failing to get rid of software on the auction site, other than a landfill what options do I have? eDay does not accept software. Thanks. |

| 1127023 | 2010-08-12 03:37:00 | You could run something like VirtualPC or VirtualBox, install Windows 95 or 98 etc onto that and then run the software inside that. Of course the emulated hardware is pretty useless so some games probably won't work either. What are the games? I might be interested in them... |

| 1127024 | 2010-08-12 04:52:00 | After having a bit of a cupboard clean out I've been wondering the same thing. Have got a pile of children's educational games and games that came with the first and second computer which ran Win 95 and Win 98. It seems a shame to biff them out when the children's games could still be useful if they were able to be run on a machine. I haven't tried installing them on Win XP. Anyone have any ideas what to do with them? We are talking about games like Math Blaster, Spell It 3, Kid Pix 2, SimCity 2000, Creative Writer and Carmen San Diego. I was particularly gutted that an arty kind of program, Flying Colors, wouldn't work, nor was updated once Win 95 came out, as it is a fantastic program. :( |

| 1127031 | 2010-08-13 06:21:00 | Try them on XP - you never know your luck. They will probably work in vmware free if you can find a windows 95 install CD & product key | Greven (91) | ||
