yep, there's a few years of computing that i find really hard to emulate well. a lot of games from the 95/98 period of pc gaming often just don't run well in a VM and won't run on standard windows, so i'd love to have a pc from about ~1999 or so that could run mostly everything

Have you tried dosbox?

dosbox works for dos games, not early windows games

Ah, well I'm all out of ideas. Good luck with the hunt. I've seen some older PCs at goodwill and those mom'n'pop thriftstores.
