OMG!! It's been years since I've seen the Crusader games and Bioforge!! Interstate '76!! Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries also!! That game needs to be remade with current tech!! Where did you happen to get those? Were they difficult to get working under vista x64? You have an awesome collection there man!!

I've had BioForge since 1995. I had Interstate 76 back in 97, but lost the original CD. I bought it again off of Amazon for about $15 five months back. BioForge and the two Crusader games work flawlessly with DOSBox. Crusader took some tweaking to get it running though. Interstate 76 works great in both software and DirectX mode. 3Dfx mode works for a while with a wrapper, but corruption begins to appear on screen after a few minutes. The version of MechWarrior 2 and MechWarrior 2 Mercs I have is the Titanium Edition and works flawlessly in DirectX. Interstate 76 and the two Mech 2 games required me to install them on my WinXP VMWare image and copy everything over since the installers are 16-bit and won't run on a 64-bit OS. I also had to export the registry settings and import those into Vista (after changing the 64-bit software path). I do have Ghost Bear's Legacy, but that's the older software DOS mode edition. That won't be installed.
How does TF2 run on Vista, any problems?
Anyways nice list man, my favs are probably the GTA and Resident Evil series.

Holy shit, very nice collection. I've never seen so many games installed on one system, and the fact that you actually bought everything instead of just pirating them is amazing.
Speechless...
Some of those games are from the last CENTURY, and they run on Vista64?! Yet a relatively recent thing like Force of Corruption for SW: Empire won't...shame on LucasArts.
If we average $45 apiece for the games, regardless of fluctuation over the years, that's $16425. Try to write it off as health care cost.

Day of the tentacle, easily the best game on that list. Green T and the Sushi Platter is probably the coolest fake band ever. Sam and Max Hit the Road was in the same lucasarts pack as DotT and Indiana jones. All 3 of those were solid. The intro to sam and max made me want to cry I was laughing so hard the first time I saw it.
Good list

That's an awesome collection, especially the older games. It's good to know that Vista runs all that stuff.
Yeah, that's an impressive list he has, but some of it is wrong. For example, he has Titan Quest listed with a red 'N' under 64-bit Vista. But that game works perfectly for me with 64-bit Vista.
Simply astounding.
It also lays to rest some of the myths about gaming on Vista.
Hmm, I should try to nab Tyrian again since it's freeware now...

I want your copy of Omikron sooooooo bad!
I had the demo and loved every second of it!
Was it any good, actually? Looked promising.

Like I've said before, these all work. They wouldn't be on the list if they didn't. With Theif 1 and 2 they had to be installed on VMWare Windows XP and then the files / registry settings copied over to Vista. After that I had to apply a patch that sets the affinity to one core or else the game would lock up after starting it.
Dungeon Keeper 1 runs great with DOSBox. Easy one there. Dungeon Keeper 2 runs nativly in Windows and actually allows widescreen and 32-bit color support by hacking the registry settings (no mod).
