Yay for Zork. Loved Max Payne 2, albeit in 2008, not 2003.

Unfortunately Beyond Good & Evil's disc copy protection is not compatible with Vista. You can install it - and at the end of the installation process, when it attempts to install the copy protection for your CD drive, it fails and proceeds to wipe the game from your hard drive.

edited to add: that should be "Xbox Originals", not "Xbox Classic". Oops.
