A Search for Older Chess Software

Meh. I have gotten old Programs like Kasparov's Gambit, Grandmaster Chess etc. However Power chess I could not get to work. Still do not know why for sure. IMHO a 95 machine is probably the best way to go not worth it. I did find an old program that I like not chess related, called Starseige by Dynamix that had all the work done for me That I had been searching for a workable version at Dropbox that now works in win 10. Maybe I get lucky if I can find Power chess at such a site.

Interesting is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJW-sY36icM  Again. Too lazy. Rather don't wanna spend the brain time over this.

My guess is that you won't find a workable version of Power Chess. Regarding Starsiege, there's a Sierrahelp patch that patches the original retail CD so that it works on modern Windows machines. The Dropbox version that you got is probably just the patched retail CD. Afaik, there's no such patch for Power Chess. So, given that Power Chess is rated "garbage compatible" for WINE, it looks to me like there's only two choices remaining: a VM setup on modern Windows, or real Win 95/98 hardware.

So far so true.

 Shame that.

This is what I used for Kasparov's gambit  http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/ 

Oh yeah, I've used d-fend reloaded. It's a nice front-end for DOSBox.

Maybe................... this? https://richannel.org/best-windows-95-emulators/ 

PowerChess98 can be run on VirtualBox in Windows 98. I am using it and it runs fine. The voice of Natacha La Ferriere is lovely and the program is actually a good tutor. I even extracted the wave files of the program and I am using them in LucasChess, ChessBase and DGT RabbitPlugin. Gives an extra touch to playing!

Indeed. I am running win 10. 64 bit.  That is my issue methinks.

Ah. How difficult on scale of 1-10 was it to set up?

In case you are interested, I made a little patch to make it run on newer Windows Versions:
