Sorta. I got Offroad Thunder and Hydro Thunder to boot at one stage as far as the pregame loader. The issue was that Ofroad Thunder demanded a 3DFX Voodoo card and when I tried Hydro Thunder yesterday it complained about missing hardware, presumably the RS-232 I/O board, the motherboard or possibly the fact that even the manual states that the custom OS won't detect anything if moved from it's preprogramed location so that it couldn't find the GFX, LAN or other hardware.
California chase I did manage to get it to do something, i.e I managed to get DOS to boot at minimum (On Oracle VirtualBox) but the game programs caused a Guru Meditation error. Real hardware said there was no OS. When I used my own drive of DOS on the PC with the calchase disk, the game program did nothing, although a few programs ran ok.
