The same as Vista then like I said.

And no, not all Windows 95 games are 32 bit. Just like not all Windows 3.1 games were 16 bit. And even games that were 32 bit often used 16 bit installers which won't work in Vista 64 bit meaning you can't install them. I used a virtual machine for this. It often meant having to copy registry entries over but at least they work like that. Luckily, these games are a minority - in reality, very few Windows games won't work in Vista. Most "problem cases" can be fixed.
