Playing old games

Hello people I am wanting to know is there any way to play my Windows 95 games on a modern computer. I would love to play the X-Files again. Thanks..

Hi theres an opensource program called DOSBox which may work. I'm not sure how how to set it up but is worth a try.

Use Virtual Box. Loads of guides around on how to get Windows 95 running on it (check YouTube).

X-Files runs on modern PC's. I know as I've completed it recently

You just need to update Quicktime if memory serves.

PCem is another option to look at. It emulates 3D accelerators better than something like Virtual Box, although it still requires you to effectively configure an actual Windows 95 install within it.

If you're going down the DOSBox route, seriously consider DOSBox Staging which is far better than the original.
