The problem is that it doesn't like anything over 98

What differences do the monitors make? :o

Older games are optimized for older monitors.
Flatscreen monitors have graphical errors and crashes for alot of games

You could always build a windows 95 computer just to play old games on it.

I was able to install RockRaiders but with new issues.

Every time I start RockRaiders it doesn't load. The program still runs and I can hear the maintheme music but I can't see the game at all, just the desktop.

Dosbox or/and a 32 Bit PC. Thats All you need or if you have an old copy if windows(like 95 and 98) you can VM it
