Hi, I'm new here and I'm wondering if anyone ever tried the Beast Wars Transformers game [1998] on newer computers like Windows XP via emulators like DOS. I'm bidding for the game on eBay, but I am concerned that the game will not work at all on my XP. Also, I couldn't find the game on the compatibility list, so I'm kind of worry that I'm wasting my money on an old game with no possible hope.

Yeah it's totally windows.

It works fine when I tried. It's a VERY crap game though

I only tried the demo in win95 when it was first released. I think the demo was a winzip self extractor, so try forcing extraction with it with winrar or so
