I found that Star Trek Starfleet Command on both Steam and GOG do not mention Windows 10 as compatible but do state XP, Vista, 7 and 8. Steam explicitly says so.

I also discovered today that FarCry has issues with multicores and you have to set affinity to 1 to get it to work.
I'll have to try that. I'm using dual Radeon 6850s in Crossfire and at the beginning throughout the jungle I average a good deal over 100 FPS, hitting 200 in many places at 2560x1080. Even after lowering quality, resolution and trying a single card, it goes to below 20. Stepping out of the shack and viewing the large view of the camp across the water, it goes back up. Quite odd.
P.S. never really played the Far Cry series yet.

I am hoping so long as it stays offline, it will keep working. But it might just disable itself...thinking of setting the system clock back 10 years just in case.
I have doubts that the system clock trick will work. You can still copy games from your modern PC's Steam folder that don't require Steam to be running. Be sure to run at least once to get any required files such as DX9 or Visual C redists. Source ports might help with others.

I've found many cheap games at thrift shops. The nearby library clearances out games for 10 cents each four times a year. I snagged about 40 including Warcraft games, Tomb Raider games, several SIMs, Carmen San Diego (at wife's request) Myst 1 through 4, King's Quest 5 and some version of Oregon Trail. All CD copies, no floppies unfortunately.
