SweatyGremlins: I've messed with Linux but Wine doesn't support the games I like as far as I experimented.
Tiberian Sun works just fine. I'm actually playing it these days.

zaine-h: I would honestly recommend running XP in a virtual machine on the Windows 8 rig you already have. It's a bit inefficient but it would probably be easier than hunting down an XP gaming computer and drivers.
Unfortunately I haven't had that much success with that so far, at least for 3D games. Various issues with various games I tried running with VMWare Player running WinXP. Same goes to running Win98SE in a virtual box.

I'd wish it to work better though, as then I could give some retro-PCs a rest.

That's unfortunate. I was even considering making a virtual machine for my most bothersome games. :/

Klumpen0815: We'll get you
that guy is either amish (which would make absolutely no sense) or belongs in the 'waste management' business

either way I am not entirely enticed. I'll stick with this - guy

Use Virtualbox for Windows titles and Dosbox for MS-DOS ones.
