I have 3, 4, and Prophecy. Do any work in win2k?

I never actually got around to playing them. Is it even worth it?

if you can get them to work, it's very worth it

I'm pretty sure you can get them to run.. the main problem is probably that the first ones were not timed but ran on for x=1 to 1000 ; next x kinda delay loops.

There are several free 'delay' tools out there that will slow your machine down to those scrumptious 286 days though, maybe those will help.
