Even with the appropriate compatibility mode? (;´Д`)

Yeah - in fact that rarely ever works (;´Д`)

People have made wrappers, patches, remakes, etc. for the most popular 
games, but anything less popular from that time is often bug-ridden, 
unplayable, or even un-installable  (;´Д`)

pcem is your friend if you have a fast computer, it'll emulate a voodoo era (or earlier) system pretty well ヽ(´∇`)ノ

Teh issue with VMs, PC emulators, etc. is that they always come with a 
certain degree of latency (sometimes a significant amount), as well as 
inconsistent frame and input timing

It's not so bad for slow-paced RPGs and strategy games, but 
action/shooter games are made far less enjoyable (;´Д`)

Worse still is that Win9x-era hardware is now stupidly expensive to buy 
second hand... it saddens me that my okaasan threw away our Win95 PC 
with Voodoo2 card 22 years ago (;´Д`)
