Just for those who were hanging on the edge of their seats, I managed to get it to work on my windows 7 laptop. Man, that game is surprisingly good (if a bit easy).

@ Procyon, no that's the weird thing. I can open up the 3D device selector window for the game but it's completely blank. The same window for the demo lists Direct 3D hardware and software mode. @leileilol, nope, just tried that and it didn't work either. Thanks for all the replies. I may just put …

So this is interesting. Out of interest I downloaded the demo which works perfectly. I have 2 options for video driver Direct 3d hardware and software. Weird...

Hmm, interesting. Might have to wait and see until I get my new laptop. Thanks for the reply!

Probably not going to get many/any replies but here goes... The first game I ever bought (over a decade ago, wow, that's depressing) was Lego Racers. It was this fun little Mario Kart 64 clone where you could build your own cars out of lego. The game used to work on my XP machine but during a tidy …

If it's a compatibility wiki for each game then you shouldn't refuse any information from being added to the list any and all information could potentially be usefull. What is really annoying is if you have a ton of games on your list that you do not personally own and can not verify and the user …

I was thinking about things like that, you'd probably have to have a system where a problem would have to be verified (e.g. at least 2 people would have to be having the problem before it's added to the list). I completely agree that it wouldn't work for games which seem to have compatibility issues …

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. If problems were grouped together in one place there would be a wider base of people with the technical knowledge to fix problems. You could even try and implement some kind of system whereby people who solved problems would receive points or something.

I've never found NT compatible to be particularly useful, I'm not sure I've ever managed to fix a problem from it. The OSes that solutions are provided for will be limited to current OSes (e.g. Vista, 7, maybe XP). The hardware and drivers may cause a problem but I'd say it's rare that a game has …

I was thinking each game's profile would look something like this: Description (brief paragraph explaining what the game is about with a box shot) Original system requirements (this comes into my definition of a compatibility issue. My definition is any game breaking error which is caused by …

@leileilol, along the same lines except: * Windows games as well as DOS games (as it's pretty easy to get DOS games working due to DOS Box) * Detailed instructions for the non technical (I often see people who aren't hardcore gamers who obviously only have 1 or 2 games they really want to get going …

This is an idea I had ages ago but could never sum up the energy to do, but recently it's kind of resurfaced and I'm keen to have another go at it. Basically, a wiki of every game that has problems on modern operating systems and fixes for problems. Many older games with problems do have solutions …

@Qbix ARGH, you have *no* idea how much I hate that lmgtfy thing. @bugs bugger, huh? so you mean it would run to slow to run any games. I have a quad core, that'll help, right?

Any one got a tutorial for virtual box? I think I could probably work it out, but a tutorial would be easy, Thanks.

AWESOME!!! I didn't think there were any good virtulization software except for the microsoft one (which doesn't work on vista home premium). Will be downloading straight away. @ robertmo yeah 95 would be better but I don't think I have it. My do some digging though...

So wait, this virtual box thing. Can i load my old copy of win 98 into that and play games through it?

I was looking through the dosbox readme and saw that the eventually the team want it to be able to emulate windows games. I'm really excited about this as there are a few of my games which I've tried everything with and my last hope is emulation. My question is why doesn't the DosBox team start a …
