Has anyone gotten any of the previous MW games working on modern PC's?

Hi all,
     I'm curious as to if any of you have gotten any of the older Mech PC games working on recent (Windows 10/11) PC's. I burned maaaaaaaaany an hour on the Mechwarrior 2 trilogy and the 2 MechCommander games (among the others but those games especially) back in the day, and was wondering if anyone has gotten them working on anything recent. I probably COULD build a retro PC running Windows 98 for such things, but I'm looking for something easier (okay, I wanna be lazy with it LOL).

    If anyone has some info, that would be awesome.

Thanks all!

MW2 trilogy: Use Dosbox. Use the DOS versions. Remember to apply whatever patches there are for each game. MechVM sets everything up for you in case you want that.
Mechcommander 1: Use the Darkest Hour mod and run the game in 1080p https://www.moddb.com/mods/mechcommander-gold-hi-res/downloads/mcg-darkest-hours-fullversion
Mechcommander 2: Should be able to work otherwise check https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/MechCommander_2
MW3: Use NGlide. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/MechWarrior_3
MW4: Use NGlide or simply launch https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/MechWarrior_4:_Mercenaries

Mechwarrior 2 has been the easiest to run in my experience because it has MS-DOS versions you can just pop into Dosbox. You may find that you have issues trying to connect a mouse with it, but I just replayed all of those games on keyboard only with no problem after my ancient muscle memory kicked in.
