Andrew R. discovered a cool tool that allows you to run old 16-bit games like Chip's Challenge on 64-bit versions of Windows, called WineVDM. You can download it [https://github.com/otya128/winevdm/releases here], with some more information about it [https://virtuallyfun.com/wordpress/category/winevdm/ here]. Andrew has some more information and instructions for installing it [https://forum.bitbusters.club/thread-1109.html here]. This tool has received highly active development; it appears that all of the bugs and quirks that were discovered with it so far have now been fixed. | Andrew R. discovered a cool tool that allows you to run old 16-bit games like Chip's Challenge on 64-bit versions of Windows, called WineVDM.
