alt Hacker NewsRelated: "Chain of Fools : Upgrading through every version of windows (HQ)" (2011), they upgrade Windows 1 through to Windows 7, and demonstrate Doom II and Monkey Island working still at the end. Would be interesting to extend it to Windows 11.

I can tell that the person making the video never actually tried to run Doom on a real Windows 2000 or XP machine, otherwise they would have noticed that the game has absolutely no sound. Sound support for DOS games in Windows 2000+ was not built into the operating system. You needed to install a third party tool called "VDMSound" if you wanted sound blaster emulation for DOS games.
