![]() Make sure you load all of the updates for WinXP when you are alerted because I have found that they really help. For example, I thought I would give Kings Quest VII-The Princeless Bride a shot and it worked like a dream on XP.īeth (p.s. It is really hard to tell which older games will work-you just have to pop them in and try them. Starship Titanic works fine on XP for me. As for Amber, I had absolutely no luck with XP with it and I am thankful I saved my old computer, just so I could play it (It is my favorite all time game!) I was not able to play Ripper on XP and had to load it eventually on my computer with WIN95 and it played fine there. I don't think anyone mentioned this, but I played Black Dahlia fine on XP. ![]() I figure I will load it someday into my computer with WIN95 and play it there. With Tex Murphy Overseer Director's Cut I was able to play to almost the very end in XP and then near the very end with the room with the maze-like floor (I won't spoil any further) it crashed and I have never been able to fix that. The Frankenstein game and Mummy Tomb of the Pharoah (I think someone asked about them earlier) loaded fine and played fine but I haven't finished them-not because of a system crash or anything, but because I got distracted by other games. Post Mortem worked fine on XP on my computer with no tweaking at all. I'll be getting Jack Orlando soon, I ll let you know if I have any luck here. I can "mute" with "Alt M" and quit with Esc.but how to you save? I can't find a readme file anywhere. Now the only tough part is I have the BOX and JC with coverart. Took me long enough! Runs great but had to do major Tweaking. I've got "Simon The Sorcerer" running on XP. This is the orginal version requiring VESA drivers, not the re-released version that I understand works better with various versions of Windows. Ended up running it on a Windows ME laptop. just wouldn't run, even in compatablity mode. Largo Winch - Initialiy I had problems with sound on the spoken dialog (garbled and unintelligable), but eventualy I was able to change the sound settings in XP and get it to work. I tried compatability mode, and some other setting changes but couldn't get it to work. Simon 1 or 2, bad graphics display as the game loads (just looks like static, colorfull static, but static all the same!), then the game locks up. I can tell you some games I couldn't get to run properly on XP!
