Gaming questions for windows 7

Because there are tons of new games which are, well new. Seems to me like the old games would get boring and people would want to play something new.

Quote from my post #10 :

Question:
Can VDMSound emulatonr run on windows 7?

When I start installing games I will report here and tell what happens. Trial and error is best way to try this.

I think I try to solve this problem myself and report here what happens. As I posted before: Trial and error is best way to try this. Only good way here.

The virtual environment is not really suited towards games. It's meant more for productivity apps. Most people aren't very happy with gaming performance.

It does not. Virtual box and the new versions of vmware do, but it's more suited towards Aero and not gaming. Fortunately, they are all free to try, so you can find out for sure how it will work.

It speaks volumes about the quality of "old" games that people go to great lengths, including actually writing emulators to run them on modern systems. Populous, Dungeon Keeper, Privateer, Wizardry 8, Crusader: No Remorse, SSI's Gold Box games, etc.

They were written in an age where shelling out $60 for something actually meant getting $60 worth of something. Sure, there were turkeys then as well as now, but previously you could just grab any random box from the store shelf and expect to be reasonably happy, as opposed to now where you'd be crazy to do that without doing extensive research looking up user reviews, patch notes, and youtube gameplay videos.

You're right, though, playing something repeatedly so many times can get boring. So we cycle between all the games we have :)
