Virtualization For Running DirectX3/Win95 Games?
Anyone know of a virtual environment to pull this off in?

Hmm...it should work with either VirtualBox or VMware, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to install the VM software (the software to make it run more natively)

I thought you couldn't access physical hardware on a virtual box (i.e. video card). Unless, you were running old enough games that they could run on a software-virtualized video card.

If it doesn't need hardware 3D acceleration, it should work in a WIndows 95/98 virtual machine.
