Chris,
Although I use NT4, I haven't tried it (one of my workstations at the
office--probably frowned upon, lol).  If the sim is written fully in 32-bit
code, it should run.  If it contains any 16-bit windows code, forget it. DOS
games probably would not run, since NT does not allow programs to access
hardware (i.e.- graphic cards) directly, although character-based DOS apps run
fine.
Hopefully, someone else can give us all info on specific sims.

Monster Truck Madness II (Trial) ran on Windows NT 4.0 w/ SP3. It ran
fine, but not in D3D, would allow us to change the options, but would
tell us they were unsupported.

I used to run (during lunchtime of course) Monster Truck Madness before I
got tired of it. I downloaded the MTM2 demo and it seems to run fine but I
can't get NT to recognize my new steering wheel. I had no problems with my
joystick. Have to do a little investigating...

I got GP2 to run on my NT,
Speed was not significantly lower than dos
No sound of course
Not all graphic adaptors worked. ATI failed, mystique and cirrus ok.

I dont mean to be rude, but if you havent used NT, then why bother
posting . .

NT runs DOS programs in a box, giving them full access to screen,
ports etc. In theory, most programs should run. In practice, a
significant portion do.

ps. A qoute:
In theory, there should be no difference between theory and practice.
In practice however, there is.
