> Worth noting that a lot of Windows (or DOS) games past may also not run well on current Windows versions.

To be fair, anything old that wasn't famous has a decent chance to be broken under WINE too. It might just be a single call to some obscure animation API or something, but it can be enough to break the entire game.



I've actually had better experiences with Wine with older games than newer Windows.


Many old games work well. Check out protonDB before trying, but I have had good experience running older GoG games through proton.


If it's on GOG it probably wasn't that obscure.

Also, sometimes the original version doesn't work but the GOG version does, or even vice versa. I've seen all sorts of oddities.
