Title: MotoXtrm & Viper Racing?

Can anyone find a way (I couldn't) to run these two games: - an old motorbike game named MotoXtrm and Viper Racing? MotoXtrm was awesome despite being too old and requiring Win95 bc it had an antigravity cheat and jumping with a motocross bike at almost no gravity was fun.
As for Viper Racing, that was the first game ever where you could turn your car (literally) into a ball, if you ram it long enough and hard enough into the environment.

Unfortunately anything I tried didn't work bc Wine doesn't support anything older than XP. I tried in VMWare with a pre-installed version of Win95 but it was too bugged (the Win, not the game), so I didn't get to playing the game. I even tried with DOSBOX but when I tried to start the game, DOSBOX said the game didn't require DOSBOX.

So far the only game from those times I've managed to run and play was "Twisted Metal 2" but these two are a mission impossible to me.

You can set the environment variable WINEARCH=win32 when creating a new prefix for a pre-XP windows version.

For Viper Racing there's an unofficial update and some other suggestions to make it run on modern systems listed on [pcgamingwiki.com](https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Viper_Racing)

Is MotoXtrm the same as [Moto Extreme from 1997](https://www.mobygames.com/game/19909/moto-extreme/)?

Oh. and I do suggest you remove the link to the games in your post. Abandonware or not, it's very much against the rules.

Yes, MotoXtrm is that game from 1997. I just have its CD and that's what reads on it - "MOTOXTRM" with some pictures.
IDK how to create a new prefix but I suppose I can use a prefix from another game and modify it to be win32.
