Tl;dw: he backported dotnet v2 to windows 95, adding the possibility to port software and games to Win95.

Visual studio still has the option to export to dotnet v2 in the current version.

Someone told me this Community might enjoy this big gal! Got her along with a keyboard and mice for 90€! Check out these specs! ! !

Boi she's also massive, especially compared to my main Gaming PC! !

Both Train Simulator and Unreal work lovingly on it, though Stronghold 2 does struggle quite a bit the more I build... also awaiting Half Life 1 with all expansions and a copy of Age Of Empire (which I haven't played a single part before) so thats exciting. Im also considering trying to get HL2 to run on it, but idk if it can handle that, what do you all think?

This has got to be one of the first games that required Win95 and didn't run on DOS or Win3.1, probably the first 3D one cause I think the other bundled games were all 2D

It was included with CD-ROM editions of Win95, but idk if the floppy version came out first? Wikipedia suggests this game came out in the same month as Win95 with no exact date, so maybe they really did release the same day.

I used to play this game quite a bit on Windows 95. It's not much of a game but as a kid I enjoyed it lol.

LGR has a video about the first Dogz (1995) and Catz (1996) games: https://youtu.be/8eqLzcvVpiM

I can't find much about the 2nd game though, this is literally the only video I could find of it.

I also played the 3rd game https://youtu.be/JZqo-a-za4E

> Surreal Engine is an ongoing project to reimplement UE1, mainly focused on Unreal Tournament v436 and Unreal Gold v226 at the moment. > > This one has been discussed in the other linux_gaming community before, more than two years ago. Since then there were numerous improvements: > * It can now run UT99 maps and Unreal Gold botmatch maps (whereas it was limited to only UT before), and boot up onto the intro flyby of Deus Ex. > * Colission handling is much better (but not perfect yet). > * Can utilize SDL2 on Linux for windowing and native Wayland support (previously it'd use pure X11, and actually still does if you don't have SDL2 installed). > * The menus mostly work now. > * Initial works for the AI (they will move around sometimes, and retaliate if attacked). > * Game detection system based on the SHA1 sum of the game executable. This allows us to detect many versions of UT and U1/UGold, as well as Deus Ex, Klingon Honor Guard, NERF Arena Blast, and more! > * A launcher has been added to select the game you want to play on startup. > And lots of other improvements! > > There is still a lot of work to do to implement everything though, and contributions are always welcome!

Here eXo (of eXoDOS fame) talks about the problems of 9x emulation, and why it's currently not feasible.

This is a game I really want to have back in my collection. This game is amazing. A great RTS set in the Dune universe.

I remember the first time seeing the sandworm. It was such an amazing sight because they are huge! I didn't expect that after dune 2/2000.

Anyone remembers this one?

Shiny have made many unique and creative games, but this must be their magnum opus. Amazing and original take on the RTS genre.

The sequel to Star Wars: Dark Forces

This game was great. The first real way to feel how it would be like to be a Jedi.

The game was followed up by the brilliant Star Wars: Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy both on my personal list of favorite games ever.

It's still available to buy on places like steam and GoG.

I used to play the demo of this. I dreamt of the full version and how I would make an awesome movie. The full version is now basically abandonware, but I never made that movie.
