Today, I ran into some annoying issues trying to install the original "Age of Empires Gold" in Windows 95. No matter what I did, it just kept crashing. Sometimes early on, sometimes when it was nearly finished. After tinkering with it for several hours, I eventually found out, the AoE setup program isn't really comfortable running in 16-bit colors! It works fine in 8 or 24-bit modes, though. WTF?!
Oh, yes - I remember! Weird issues like this one were also a huge part of the 90s computing experience!
