I feel like my generation got "skipped" by the emulation craze.

emulation is great for like, console games, but I didn't grow up on consoles, I grew up on windows 98. it seems like retroarch and dosbox have basically solved everything from _before_ windows 98, and wine/proton are good for most stuff from the post-XP era. but the games I'm most nostalgic for -- Zoombinis, Backyard Baseball, Artrageous!... it's a bit of a pain to emulate them, right? you can sort of run them in Wine but there's so much fiddling and it feels so fragile, I had a Lutris setup on my steam deck that completely broke with a Lutris update so I don't trust Lutris anymore, which means I basically have to do all the Wine commands by hand

does anyone here have experience with this? is there a dosbox-esque "plug and play" solution for win98 CD-ROM games?

It's a blast from the past with one of my favorite old #games from my childhood. It's the logic game called the Zoombinis.

J'ai lamentablement échoué à faire tourner les #Zoombinis mais j'ai découvert (via @Ash_Crow ) que #Les9DestinsDeValdo tourne sous linux

Qui se souvient que quand on gagnait les #Zoombinis y avait juste un feu d'artifice pourri au dessus du village, genre pire que l'animation de victoire au solitaire
