What this guy said. I've not really found many games that I cant run if I want too. Heck I played Alpha Centauri on my PC just the other day.Dexter111 said:There's literally no single game I haven't got working on Vista or 7 with a bit of Googling, the PC has the greatest "backwards compatibility" ever, and that even includes emulating almost every console known to man made (including Wii and PS2).
I don't know why Plants vs. Zombies wouldn't work on your PC... have you tried installing the newest version of Adobe Flash? If not what kind of error message or "symptoms" are you getting?

Will my dell latitude d620, running with windows XP, be able to run starcraft, halflife, and deus ex (the originals)? I know it can run amnesia, if that helps.

yeah, unfortunately I got the Gold Edition(EA Classics) win 95-2000 only.Worgen said:well if its for dos then you can dl dosbox and play it, but if its win 95 then your kinda stuck needing the gog version since win 95 doesnt like new os's at all-Dragmire- said:thanks for the info, I'll definitely get it.

I have a copy of the original Duke Nukem for DOS on Floppy disk.
1) I don't have a floppy drive anymore
2) who the hell uses dos!?
Sariteiya said:There's this nutty old game called Kings Quest me and my siblings used to love back in the Windows 95 days. It was a point and click adventure, and it was totally bizarre and campy, but it's full of nostalgia for us. Unfortunately it can't keep up with today's technology.
Also, I can't play the Sims 3, but that's because that f'ing game is broken beyond all reason.
both of those games should be dos based, you can dl a program called dosbox that will let you run any dos game on it, it takes getting to know a few dos commands but its not a hard program to use.... altho keep in mind I started using computers back in the days of dos so Ive known them for awhile so Im not sure how easy it would be for someone who never used itefeat said:System Shock 2 does not seem to like windows 7 professional x64. I'm sure there's a way to get it to work...but I just don't know of it.
Also, an old flight sim I used to play back in '96 doesn't sync with a modern processor very well. It runs at like 20x normal speed.
they have that on gog alsoLink90 said:duke nukem 3d for PC (i dont own or will own a 360 in the future)
have you tried playing it in compatibility mode? vista should be able to do dungeon keeper in windows 200 compatibility mode, just right click the icon for the executable and select properties, there should be a compatibility tab-Dragmire- said:yeah, unfortunately I got the Gold Edition(EA Classics) win 95-2000 only.Worgen said:well if its for dos then you can dl dosbox and play it, but if its win 95 then your kinda stuck needing the gog version since win 95 doesnt like new os's at all-Dragmire- said:thanks for the info, I'll definitely get it.

Dungeon Keeper 2 fares slightly better(can start and kind of work) but has major audio and video bugs that may or may not lead to a BSoD. So I've stopped trying to play it.
The only reason I don't have a floppy drive anymore is because when I changed my motherboard, I only had SATA ports and my floppy drive was over 10 years old. If you think my laptop is awesome, you should see....AbstractJuggler said:WaaghPowa said:My laptop can play crysis on highest settings at 60fps, 1440x900 resolution *scoff*AbstractJuggler said:Not meaning to brag, but I can play Crysis on my laptop *scoff*
