Mise said: And you don't really have to do any tests if you don't want to, but I'm mainly concerned about games like these: The Fallout Series (1, 2, Tactics) Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - 5 Infinity Engine games (Planescape: Torment, the Baldur's Gate series) Newer Blizzard games (StarCraft, WarCraft 3) Beyond Good and Evil, Psychonauts, AvP etc. Basically late 90's - mid 00's games - anything older can be run via DosBox, and newer ones probably work anyway. And here are a few tougher ones: Emperor: Battle for Dune Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate These games are already broken by XP, so you'd have to run a second virtual machine inside the XP one in order to get them to work. It's a big enough pain in XP, so I don't expect that you want to bother - if you even have them, that is. :p |
Fallout 1 seems to work in Win 7 itself. It requires some compatibility setting. I used it with all the setting check boxes marked and in Win 98 compatibility, but it seems to be working so far. I'll play some more later.
Heroes of Might and Magic 5, Starcraft and Beyond Good and Evil also work fine in Win 7 itself, but they didn't require any setting changes when I ran them. The others that I do have, I can't find the disks for, so I'm not going to bother looking into them. From what I've seen so far, games haven't been too much of a problem in 7, I think the XP virtual machine is mainly more for other specific softwares.
Hmm, I don't think I tried the Emporer Dune game, but the earlier RTS was alright. I preferred the 1992 Dune game though. Not a RTS exactly, but it was pretty fun from what I remember.
