3.11 was WfW, and ran on top of DOS just like 3.1 did.

NT 3.51 used the NT kernel, and (mostly) looked like 3.1/3.11 on the surface. NT 4 used the NT kernel, and (mostly) looked like Win95.

Win 95/98/Me also ran on DOS, though it was more tightly integrated than it was in the 3.1 days.

Win 2k and everything after was based on NT.

If you have like-minded friends, start your own. Even if none of you have ever played before, there are plenty of resources online to help you figure it out.

If not, local game stores will often have bulletin boards where groups post that they're looking for players or players post that they're looking for a group. If the store has space to play, you can sometimes even join in on games there.

Or if you don't mind playing online ( personally I don't care for it) you can sometimes find a game to join on sites like roll20.

Agreed. Looks like a variegated carpet beetle.

I don't have an alternative program to suggest, but there are some workarounds for using redshift.

First, in the config file, you can set the location provider to manual, then specify a lat/lon and it will use that location in its time calculations. I do this on my laptop, and it works well except for when I cross multiple timezones - things are obviously off a bit.

Second, with the caveat that I haven't tried this, it looks like you can also manually set dawn/dusk times in the config, which sounds like what you're after.

See man 1 redshift for more info.
