Any titles that have a link take you to a page dedicated to that particular game with manuals, copy protection details, advice on how to get the game running and more.

Here is a shortcut to each year:

Typical Gaming System

Use a 2x or 4x CD-ROM, and definitely run VGA graphics. An 80286 at 16 MHz may play a game, but it won't be much fun. Anything more demanding such as Doom, X-Wing or Wing Commander III and you should be running a 486SX-25 with 4 MB RAM as a minimum spec to make it more enjoyable, though a 486DX2-66 is ideal along with 8 MB RAM and a decent PCI "accelerator" graphics card. For sound, you will see most games supporting General MIDI as the top-end choice, but many will still offer Roland MT-32. For digital effects and other music options, Sound Blaster Pro/16/AWE, GUS and PAS are common.
