Just downloaded Breath of Fire 4 and got it to run on Windows 10 immediately. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I'm hard pressed to think of any game released for Windows 95 or after that I can't get to run on Windows 10 natively. Star Trek Armada (2000), Rollercoaster Tycoon (1999), Zoo Tycoon (2001), Rayman Gold (1997), Civilization 2 (1996). I'm sure there ARE games that can't be run on Windows 10 that were released late 90's or after but the vast majority (literally 99%) work. Even obscure Japanese Visual Novels from the 90's run. |
While it's true that it is possible to make the games run, sometimes titles will have issues with hardware being far beyond what the title would expect to find inside a system, heck even my version of Halo 1 is convinced that I have 0MB of system memory when it goes to start up because of this, also there are titles which rely on older direct X video codec packages which have been dropped, say Dark Omen from EA, the title works and stages are fine, but any of the cutscenes are just a mess even by Windows 7, I fear what the title might look like in W10.
But yeah... with tinkering and patches/modding it can be possible to get games to "run" but with older titles you will encounter a few hiccups which can really take from the original experience, I'm sure if the PS4 could run PS2/3 titles but they were missing all cutscenes/music/sounds from the games... people would question the value of the ability to play those games, although it sure would make games like Metal Gear solid a whole lot shorter to finish, Silver lining on every cloud!
