But why should I have to? My consoles are plug in and play. PC games are not so much better than console games to make me go through the additional hassle of Dosbox or dual operating systems.
I haven't just bought a new computer and I don't own Vista. My fiance does however and getting old games to run on it is a joke. Age of Mythology specifically said it wouldn't work on Vista but it does while Empire Earth and Glory of the Roman Empire didn't mention it on the packaging but will not work. |
Oh, so when you plug in your Wii, you can slip your old SNES cartriges in the disc drive and boot it up? Please, console backwards compatability isn't even comparable to PC backwards compatability. Is it more of a hassle to reboot your PC and select a different OS or to pull your SNES out of the closet, unplug your Wii, and your cable hookup and plug it in? |
Rebooting is more hassle. All my consoles are permanently hooked up to my TV. It's just as easy for me to play a SNES game or a Mega Drive game as it is to play a Wii game. And that still wouldn't solve my problem as neither XP nor Vista can run the games I want to play. My original Worms disc hasn't worked since Windows 95 and Bomberman last saw the light on Windows 98. |
Well now you've changed the discussion. You were talking about backwards compatability, but now you say you don't use BC because you hook up everything at once. That aside, are you trying to tell me that none of the internal batteries in your old cartridges have died? Because half my SNES games can no longer save. Poor poor Earthbound
