You are gonna need a really powerful processor to run any of those games with sound (trog, total carnage, smash TV, mortal kombat 1 +2)
also that hardware vesa3 is really important, otherwise you may end up using scitech display doctor and that slows things down bigtime.
My Celeron 300a overclocked to 504mhz will play them fine with no sound and 16 bit colour, with sound on the frame rate drops (BAD) whenever there is lots of action on the screen
My system specs
300a o/c to 504
S3 virge 4meg <- Major bottleneck here
Abit BH6
64 meg pc100
UDMA33 6.4 gig HD
