If you've had to mess around with EMM386 and HIMEM settings to play Wing Commander 2, you win.
Autoexec.bat's and boot disks for everything ftw.
Does messing around to play Red Alert at 640 x 480 (instead of the default 320 x 240) qualify? I emphasize that I modded the thing to have ICBM carrying submarines for more realism, and played global thermonuclear war with my university course mate over an RS-232 cable. :P
