Populous II won't install under Freedos, but it will run.
Wolfenstein 3D will install, but it's not playable.
Same for blake stone aliens of gold.
Underworld works and installs, except I can't get speech to work.
Chuck Yeager's air combat doesn't work.
Ultima VII doesn't work, don't know why, but there's a patch to play
it in Windows (If you have a legal copy of that lying around).
Battletech I and Battletech II install and work, they are so old does
anyone care about the copyright?
Shareware In search of Dr. Riptide, Shareware Pea Shooting Pete, and of
course the shareware versions of Commander Keen I and IV work and
install.
7cities, seven cities of gold, works and installs.
The original simcity works and installs.
My 486 DX2-66 has a copy of 98SE on it now, albeit that is very slow.
ReactOS is an NT/2000/XP replacement, so it probably won't be
appropriate for my 486. I only have 20 megs of ram because my second
set of 4 megs simms burned out. I will use 98SE for DriveWire short
of a better solution. I hope Microsoft doesn't care who runs 98SE,
there isn't a better solution at this point. I have more installations
of 98SE than I do legal copies, but I don't use all of those copies
simultaneously. I wish the ReactOS project hadn't gotten away from
offering a Windows 9x replacement. I know there's a hatred of dos,
but it's the only way to go on an ancient computer.
Frankly, I'd like to see Microsoft forced to open source it's
abandoned operating systems. If Microsoft can do something totally
different like Vista, there's no excuse for keeping something ancient
like MS-DOS 7.0 closed.
