      Ah, with PC it varies. There can definitely be issues when you go back to games made for Windows 7 and earlier, for example. If a game is popular enough, it’s almost guaranteed to have fan-made patches to work on modern hardware, at least.

        Even without a game being popular, if you sort of know what you are doing, you can “patch” it yourself via relatively easy to use tools:

        There is even a patch to enable 16 bit emulation support on x64 Windows (sometimes needed for installers or some weird Windows 3.1 game ports to Windows 95).
