    These games came from the Windows 3.11 era, so when these games came out, the Program Files folder didn’t exist, and long filenames didn’t exist at the time either.

    Sure the posted image shows the games apparently installed on Windows 98, but the installer was designed for Windows 3.11, so if I recall correctly, the installer put these games under C:\ENTPACK.

    Well, except for the odd file GOLF.DAT for Fuji Golf, for whatever reason that file had to be in C:\WINDOWS.

      Thank you for the info. I couldn’t remember what the Window looked like in Windows 98. I thought it could be ME

        Could be. Noticing the shaded title bar, that cosmetic feature came around somewhere between Windows 95 OSR2 or Windows 98, and stuck through ME, 2000, and even XP in classic theme mode.
