Windows95 Alternatives
Windows95
Windows 95 in Electron. Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Does it work?
Yes! Quite well, actually.
Should this have been a native app?
Absolutely.
Does it run Doom (or my other favorite game)?
You'll likely be better off with an actual virtualization app, but the short answer is yes. Thanks to @DisplacedGamers I can recommend that you switch to a resolution of 640x480 @ 256 colors before starting DOS games - just like in the good ol' days.
How's the code?
This only works well by accident and was mostly a joke. The code quality is accordingly.
