Som of them were really hard to get working, especially the windows95 versions but finally Virtual PC fixed all my problems. Glad I never threw away that windows 98 cd.
I started playing with earthsiege and cyberstorm and I am almost finished with former ready to continue in the expansion. Its amazing how fun the old games can be even though you have newer ones installed.
For the games I use:
(1) Keyboard (best for earthsiege)
(2) Optical MS explorer mouse (good in mechwarrior2)
(3) My old trusty Sidewinder 3D ()
(4) Last of its kind (discontinued) MS Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 (works superb in mech3 and 4)
