Hey,
I'm considering an upgrade to 7 and have a large collection of older games which I'm hoping will run on Vista.
Firstly, will XP games like Simcity 4 and Civilization 4 work with 7 (without XP Mode)?
Secondly, will ANCIENT games like Championship Manager 3 & Settlers 3 (which both predate Windows 2000) work? I know that the former works with Vista's Compatability mode, but do they work with 7's?
Thanks,
Wasila
I can confirm about Civ IV, i've played that one without problems,
for other ones, some of the guys around here may have answers for you.
cheers
Simcity4 definitly works on windows 7.
For the others, I don' t know so maybe someone else on the forum will be able to help you for those.
Best,
Fire Cat
But is a compatibility setting all it needs? Are the compatibility options actually any good/do they work? I don't want to get 7 Pro so I'm trying to avoid XP Mode.
Compatibility setting usually does allow you to run the game. Albeit it might be buggy, but at least it will run.
If they are dos games, then Id also recommend DOSbox to run them in.
