I discovered an archaic version of Adobe Illustrator from around the year 2000. It works on both Windows 9x and Windows NT 4.0/2000. The system requirements call for a Pentium processor and at least 64MB of RAM. Because it supports backwards compatibility with x86, you should be able to run it smoothly. It’s mainly there for fun—exploring the quirky designs people considered cool back then.

Set it up and proceed. The Illustrator tool isn’t bundled with any artwork; for 2000s style art, search it on Google.

I’ve been working with a copy of Macromedia Fireworks MX from back in 2002 that’s performed well on Windows 7, 8, and 10. I’ve also set up MS Works 4.0 for Windows 98 on a Windows 7 system. It’s unlikely to be an issue—most of the original APIs remain intact, which is why it should still function.

That's encouraging! I'm glad the compatibility issues didn't cause any trouble. Working with older programs is always a pleasant surprise.
