Windows 98 Paint Games

This list contains games released for the Windows 3.x platform, mostly created between 1989 and 1994. Many are also compatible with the later 32-bit Windows operating systems. In Windows 98 you can use PlayStation 4 controllers, no lie. That's automatically my favorite one now. A more era appropriate answer would be the Gravis pro. I didn't have a lot of controllers for PC, I mainly stuck to the keyboard and I didn't mind up until I got a few Gravis Pros. However, playing games that were launched before Windows 98 in certain new operating systems may prove mighty difficult if not impossible. With Windows 95, Windows became 32-bit (originally it came only in 16-bit). All the latest Windows versions, including Win 8, are released in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. With some tweaking, you may be able.

Minesweeper

Minesweeper is not included with Windows 8 and Windows 10 out of the box. To install Minesweeper in Windows 8 and Windows 10, access the Microsoft Store icon on the Windows Start Screen or Start Menu and search for 'Minesweeper'.

Windows Minesweeper is a software game that has been included with all versions of Microsoft Windows up through Windows 7. The picture to the right is an example of how Minesweeper looked in Windows XP and what Minesweeper looked like in early versions of Windows.

The object of the game is to locate each of the mines and safely mark the mines with a flag by clicking on the box you believe to be a bomb with your right mouse button. To help you with discovering where the bombs are located numbers are placed in squares next to where a bomb is located. For example, if a square has a number 2, it indicates that two bombs are found on one of the sides or corners of that square.

Once all bombs have been marked and all other squares have been cleared the player wins the game. If a bomb is selected and not marked it explodes and the player loses the game.

In the picture below is an example of the Minesweeper app running in Windows 8. In this picture you can get a better understanding of the numbers and where the bombs may be placed in a game.

Solitaire

Solitaire is not included with Windows 8 and Windows 10 out of the box. To install Solitaire in Windows 8 and Windows 10, access the Microsoft Store icon on the Windows Start Screen or Start Menu and search for 'Solitaire'.

Windows Solitaire is just like the classic real-life card game. The object of the game is to go through a deck of cards and arrange the randomized cards in order and by suit, starting each suit with the Ace card and going all the way up to the King. The game starts with seven stacks of cards, with the first stack having one card, the second stack having two cards, and so on. Only the top card is showing in each stack. The remaining cards are placed in the top left corner of the screen in a single stack, facing down.

When arranging the cards in the seven stacks and using the cards in the top-left, the cards must be arranged in opposite color order. For example, a red six only work on a black seven. If the player has any card showing on the seven stacks that can be placed on another card, that card can be moved to another stack and the card under it can be turned over. If an Ace is found it can be placed in one of the top 4 blank spots to begin creating a stack of all the same suites.

If while playing one of the seven stacks is emptied a King and any of the cards below the king can be moved to the location of the empty stack. If no cards can be placed, one card is drawn from the top-left deck until a match can be found. If all cards are drawn from the top-left the cards are turned over and gone through again.

Finally, if no matches can be found after going through the top-left deck or in any of the seven stacks you lose the game. If you're able to complete all four stacks of cards in the same suites you win the game.

Double-clicking on a card moves it into its place without having to drag the card.

If you believe you can complete the game with the cards showing right-click to finish the game without having to drag and drop all of the remaining of the cards.

1. Windows games

As the years goes by, more and more Windows games are added on the website. Some of them still work quite easily, others are lucky enough to have an active community developing patches and fixes to make them run on the most recent versions of Windows.

Almost all Windows games are available as ISO version, meaning a verbatim copy of the game disks. If you don't know how to use these files, read our tutorial. You may also get these usual problems:

• ISO is not a .iso file: an ISO image is a disk image of a CD or DVD file. Several file formats have been created to make ISO files and you will need to install another mounting software. In our archives, you'll come across BIN/CUE, MDF/MDS, CCD/IMG, NRG. You may want to convert these to ISO using WinBin2Iso, but you will lose audio tracks (usually music) if there are any.
• Corrupted ISO: many ISO files can't be mounted with the legacy ISO utility in Windows 10. You need to install another mounting software, see this page.
• Game is asking for CD: games have a copy protection program to avoid piracy. You will need to replace the original .exe program with another one. Sometimes, we provide this replacement on the game page, labeled as 'NoCD'. Otherwise, look for a 'crack' directory in the content of the ISO file.

PCGamingWiki

Late 90s and 2000s titles may have a game page on PCGamingWiki, a wiki dedicated to fixes and workarounds for PC Games. We try to add a link to the right wiki URL on every game page, so you should check out the game links below the game description.

Another great glide wrapper is dgVoodoo2, which allows you to play not only 3dfx games, but also DirectX (1-7) and Direct3D games. Both programs are very useful, as one may work better than the other.

As written above, dgVoodoo2 is great for old windows games which often use DirectX. You can also try these alternatives: dxwrapper, an on-going project which may prove difficult to use. WineD3D will convert DirectX to OpenGL, see the readme file in the utility folder.

Then right click on gfwlivesetup.exe and select Run as administrator.
