DirectX support in Vbox is experimental and not enabled by default according to Zarmakuizz (see topic linked below) which might be the reason your games fail in Hourglass. I'm not sure how to enable it. Btw, if anyone can test if my games of interest run in Hourglass or Hourglass-Resurrection, I'd appreciate it. Let me know if they work or not. http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=433298#433298

It's a setting in the VM to enable 3D acceleration. Like Warepire said, you also need to install guest additions.

We already researched and concluded on IRC that those games are 16-bit, and therefor not possible to support in Hourglass. Hourglass operates on 32-bit only as it is now. 64-bit is possible, if someone puts the work in. For 16-bit games, you need Windows 3.11 or Windows 95 installed in JPC-rr.

Tomb Raider 2 is 32-bit game from year 1997.

I'm struggling to see the relevance; he mentioned 3 games (that can be individually Googled checked), and Tomb Raider 2 is not one of them.
