any good games for Win95 that I can use?

I can use games that will work on a 486, because this thing has more ram than most 486's, with 32MB

For word processing, WordPerfect v. 5.1 (DOS) is excellent. When I first purchased 2 386s (for around $1500 each), WordPerfect was THE word processing program for my law practice. Couldn't beat it with a stick.

For gaming, go with PacMan, Tetris and DigDug.

Warcraft 1 would work, if you have some time on your hands. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Doom perhaps?

I might be wrong on this but, no matter how much memory you have, if the game is specificly made for a 486 or above and uses dos4gw its NOT going to run on a 386 no matter how much memory you have. There are still a difference between 386's and 486's.

If you like flight sims, Microsoft flight sim 4 will run on a 386, i use to have one with it on it. ALso WOrd version 2.0 or works 2.0 for windows will run excellent on a 386.

The Warcraft 1 demo was on floppy. Besides, there are ways of getting around the no-CD drive problem. Interlink or DCC immediately come to mind. Be creative.
