By the 90s, PCs with [[POS_(Pong_Consoles)_CPUs_and_Other_Chips#Intel_CPU.27s|Intel CPUs]] started to break away from the mold of their 16-bit incarnations. It began with Intel taking the helm of the PC platform with the ATX specification, which departed from the PC AT and related models in a number of ways. The rise of PCs also brought with it the bundling of the Windows 9x family of operating systems, which were hybrid 16/32-bit operating systems consisting of Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME; Windows 2000 was based on Windows NT.
Playing games for these platforms on a modern system can be quite easy as programs can be run on later windows without sacrifices in backwards compability. For example if a program runs on Windows 7,there is a big chance it will work on Windows 10 and so on. If the program however doesn't know to work on Windows 7,Compability settings can be used to work with the aforementioned operating system,which will also work in Windows 10.
