Ah...The halcion days of Doom2....Takes me back...Actually where DO you get
older games anymore???  Seems no one is willing to give them up!

There is a software package called system commander OR you can write your
own...(with Win95 is a bitch...Win95 likes to take EVERYTHING and Win98 is
MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH worse)  However, if you strike F8 direct after your BIOS
you can boot to "DOS".  You can configure your DOS boot however your want
though!  Just edit your autoexec.bat and config.sys and you SHOULD be able
to play the old games...but Win9x just sucks rocks...can't wait until games
start to be ported to Linux...*G*
