Thank you for your quick response. I have already found these and they are all playing against a computer. I am looking for a way to find what was in windows 7 and every other previous version of windows. You could go to the programs menu, open the games and find a link to all the internet games against people.

Do you know how to get me there ?

thank you

IIRC, they will work, but you have to copy them from a Windows 7 install to the Program Files on the Windows 8 machine, and then copy a .DLL for them from system32 on the Windows 7 machine into each individual game directory on the 8 machine. Don't remember the specific .DLL, but it is something super obvious (not games.dll, but something equally recognizable).

Here are all the Windows 7 Games, just copy paste the contents of the zip into the root of your C: partition, then once done, run the registry file there once by double clicking on it to register them

these are a 100% replica of the Windows 7 Games
