They may run, but have you played them all of the way through? For instance, I can run Vampire: The Masquerade on all of my computers, but it regularly crashes on three of them. You can get through the game with enough patience, but I would not consider that a functioning state.

Oh heck yeah! Right now I'm going through Grim Fandango and Sins of a Solar Empire. After Grim Fandango I'm going to try Day of the Tentacle. The pixels are rather large on a 32" TV/Monitor.

WOOT

Day of the Tentacle rocks!

You don't have to read the whole thread, but he says right on the first page about 15%.

Nice collection - a real treasure trove there.

Of special note - Shogo & Mechwarrior (1)! :heart:

Did you have to do anything to get System Shock 2 working well under Vista x64? I've been dying for another play through and had enough issues getting it to work under XP, I was scared to try it under Vista x64.

Very nice list there. Clears out the cobwebs in my mind. I'm gonna have to learn about how you used VMware and copied them over. I'm clueless on that aspect...........

Edit: Pretty much the only reason I went back to XP is that BF1942 kept on 'stopped responding and needed to close'. Have you experienced that problem at all?

I've played BF1942 for hours in Vista and haven't run across that issue.

You lack the expansion to supreme commander.

But very impressive. Do you play all of them all the time? Or is it a lottery thing?

"I'll play... game #306 today... Oh crap, it's Gothic."
