I honestly haven't done much with classic games.  But I've been messing around with Linux gaming a bit among other things.  There are lots of tools derived from Wine that can encapsulate an application and redirect function calls.  I wonder if running through Lutris or Bottles or something might help.  Would love to know if anyone has had any luck with some of these older games in linux.,(reply>), I remember that the CD version of Clive Barker's Undying ran perfectly under Linux with Wine, while it refused to run at all in Windows 7, let alone 8, 10 or 11. Or going more old school, I have the original CD of a 1995 fps called ZPC made by GT Interactive that even today runs perfectly well in Wine, while it refuses to run on anything newer than 32 bits Windows XP. Heck, even running it in a 32 bits Windows XP qemu VM is a no-go because the game really doesn't like the libvirt emulated GPU (it's one of the earliest DirectX games I think, I doubt Red Hat's emulation of DirectX goes that far).
