I was just wondering... Im a bit pissed cuz I love my old games... I heard that older games work on Windows 7... And they dont really work well or just dont start at all... So Anyone got any suggetions?

dno but it works on windows vista lol

Well, I have been playing KOTOR on Windows 7... but that was through Steam

Are you running in compatibility mode?

I haven't tried running any of my older games on Windows 7 but they worked fine for me on Vista. Actually, scratch that, I ran Sim City 2000 on the release candidate and it worked fine in compatibility mode.

I only have a problem with age of empires I and the expansion...it freezes randomly... Sim city 4 works good and pharaoh.

The games that so far didnt run very well are Diablo 2 Lod and Quake 2.... Im not even gunna try Doom 1 - Final Doom cuz i know they are gonna look all Rainbow colored messy graphics... I tried the compatibility stuff but doesnt work very well ;/

Haven't tried to run all my 10 year + old games on Win 7 yet, but I'm half assuming if they ran on Vista they'll still work.

So far no problems with any post Vista released games running on Win 7.

The only game I ran into that wouldn't run on Vista was Manhunt (through Steam).

If you can run a windows XP mode pretty much everything should work fine.... I can't use XP mode on my laptop, but it runs GTA3/VC and San Andreas fine (actually has to be low settings for SA... but that's because it is a laptop with integrated graphics, nothing to do with windows)

If you want to run DOS games, use dosbox:

i tryed to run day of the tentacle on windows XP ages ago and it worked but it has no sound, and thats with dosbox.. i installed Kings Quest 6 but it has a small screen on Vista.. but that works awesomely with Xp... i should of stayed with Windows 2000 just to play retro because im not much of a new school pc gamer im more of a retro pc gamer
