I had the DOS version, of course. Also, Ripleys Believe It Or Not: The Riddle of Master Lu.
Never beat that shit, impossible to get running even with DOSbox

Age of Empires II, Age of Mythology, Bugs Life, Goin' Quackers and tons of emulated SNES and GBA games. I actually can't remember what happened to the last family PC we had before we moved to a laptop.

We must have had the same special Packard Bell Package. We got ours from a Circuit City.
My 486 ran so many games until Voodoo was really needed.
Mechwarrior 2/Mercenaries and Lucas Arts flight sims used a ton of my time.

StarCraft and games off the ZNES

I think it was pretty common, I forget the exact model we had, but it was a Legend something. Ours was from Best Buy. I remember getting Photoshop when it first came out and being blown away by the soft edged eraser lol

I had a disc of 100 games for Win 98 but I wasn't allowed to install any of them because uhhh reasons I can't remember but some of them had demos and I played a lot of those
the few I remember are Jazz Jackrabbit 2, some kind of grid-based rpg (and its sequels) and a shitty pacman ripoff where the maze was disgustingly asymmetrical and the controls were garbage
