I think you're looking for DOS games (Win 3.1 runs on a DOS computer)
I got some DOS games in the free games section, but I got 47 games in the
Old games section too (all DOS games, if I am right).
Old games: http://www.caiman.be/scripts/dgamesmenu.html

And of course you can look for abandonware too (look at the linkpage:
http://abandonware.start.be/ )

BTW: Your webring on my site is still pending ...

*PT*,

you could try here:
http://www.alex-soft.net/
http://www.goodsol.com/win31.html
http://win3x.bravepages.com/
http://freegamesonly.narod.ru/index.html (SLOW)
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arcade/2516/dlwin31.html


Of couse, you could also check abandonware sites, sometimes (sierra
sometimes does) they will release it to PD or as Freeware. 'Age Of Empires
I' for example has become Freeware and is a dos game. Just be aware that not
all abandonware *is* free.

LOL, I had some questions about that too. Nice effort, *PT*, but I think I
have to agree with Rudy on this.

Yep, that will be much harder, Back In these old days, it often was easier
to write a nice looking program in dos then in windows. If you take the most
advanced games of that time, the 1st person 3d shooters, they are virtually
all dos, becaus windows 3.1 couldn't cope with any 3d or graphical engine.
So most real windows 3.1 games will be those that are not heavy on graphics
and/or calculations. Like... well... er... sollitaire... (and a lot of
thinking games)

By the way, Why doesn't he load windows 95 on the machine. With 32+ MB RAM
and 160 MB HD ram it should work. Or are we talking stoneage machines here?

Monochrome Montior: Can live with it
130 MB harddisk: Tricky but possible
386 SX 20: Bummer Maybe for a simple protocol sniffer or creating stuff in
Turbo Pascall or as a linux firewall (2 PCMCIA network cards)
8 MB RAM: Paperweight!

Man! starting it up would be a passtime on its own...

And I thought my friends had prehistoric stuff...
