Games like "Betrayal In Antara" should come with OTVDM natively because by itself it will not run on windows 10 x64.

What Windows do they run on?

32 bit OS, but 64 bit OS do not come with NTVDM

First, Gog's BiA runs flawlessly under 64bit Win10.

Second, the Gog antara.exe is a 32bit app.

Third, after extraction of otvdm.zip, you just need to click install (in oder
to add the necessary registry entries) and otvdm is ready to work.
I don't think we need to disturb Gog to achieve that.

I mean civilization 1 from microprose should 2k or firaxis ever add it back here

It never was here in the first place.

Also, GOG used BoxedWine for Voodoo Kid.

What is OTVDM? I'm not installing a random .exe on my computer because a rando on GOG said to. More information on what it is and what it actually does would be welcome.

It's a subcomponent of Wine's system call translator, but made to translate 16 bit Windows for 64 bit Windows.

I don't think they understand how software licenses work either; this isn't something to be handed out like candy.

If you ever want to install the Win95 version of Panzer General or the official release of Anstoss 2 Gold
on your 64bit Win10, then it's time for otvdm. It will enable you to run 16bit apps on a 64bit OS without
the problems that come with the installation of a virtual machine. Voodoo Kid runs just fine without BoxedWine on Win 10.
Right now BoxedWine supports only a few apps (and doesn't even deliver CD-ROM support),
but surely it makes sense to monitor its further development. What you actually mean is: back in the days (particularly in the Win 95 era) a lot of programs
that already had a DOS version were re-releasedwith 16bit setups. The most used solution in
order to install such 16bit apps on a 64bit OS is to use a virtual machine (VirtualBox, VMWare
Player). otvdm makes the installation process of these 16bit apps much more easier.

This sounds too good to be true. I still have some old CDs with games that I haven't been able to run for more than a decade now. I'll have to give this a try.
