I am trying to re-play Thief pc games, Gold and II Metal Age will not work. Installs, video intro plays, but when I go to "train" or complete mission on TII. Black screen, can go no further in the game. Is there a game similiar to Thief that will work for me? Tried all the Compatibility changes. WinXpdp3. Anyone information on what might work.

These are extremely popular games; many fixes exist and they are not difficult to find. See http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133946 .

Games that complain about quicktime because the actual installer on the game disc fails, just install modern quicktime and it will work. If there is quicktime dll's in the game's dir either delete them or replace them with the modern version. QT is fully backwards compatible from what I've experienced, it even plays the videos on Isle of the Dead.

Half Life 1.0.0.1 version does fail the CD check, it also fails on NT4, 2K, XP, this was a known issue and valve patched it out quickly.

Not always. The fix for QfG5's QuickTime issues is to use the QT3 files in the game's base. Modern QT results in cut scene lockups.

Would it maybe better to put every listed game in the OP post??
