sorry if the image is dark


i found this old dell monitor in a box in my attic and have kept it clean for a while

i have a idea to use it for a mid to late 90s windows PC
probably using windows 95 98 or 2000  maybe xp
i still want to be able to play old MS DOS GAMES THO

but the main games i would want to play are
doom
quake
sim city 1 2000 and 3000
and maybe some games from the 2000s

if anyone knows stuff about this i would like to know what the best OS is for mid to late ninety's windows games are and can also play old dos games

i only ask cuz i know very little about this kind of stuff

also there is a pc in my attic but its broken
and the monitor dose work with my brothers new PC

Actually... I'd go Linux. You have dosbox for all dos games. And win95 era games will probably work better on wine/proton than new windows. Get Bazzite - it's game focused Linux distro. You also have lutris preinstalled. And lutris is installer for old games. You just click install, and very often it just works. Will download as much as it can from sites like archive.org and set up you wine prefix the way it should be.

Running win98 on compatible hardware would be best. You may have problems finding drivers for your GPU, but pretty sure archive.org should have all you need.
