Really? I seem to make it work just fine. What happens when you attempt to launch it?

 

[KennyJ88]

it starts up and it gets stuck at the opening bridge scene. the memory set gets to about 20000k and stops loading and about 30 minutes later a error pops up. do you have a solution for me? i had no problem on my vista laptop but the harddrive just went a couple weeks ago.

City Life does not work on 64 bit even with the Vista update for Starforce

 

[pawz7]

x64 Aura Fate of the Ages is a no. The game appears to install and accepts the update patch 1.4, and appears to play for a ten minutes or so then ctd's, Also although it seems to save, when you go back into a previous game, no saves are available.

I forgot that I had used a no cd crack to get it to work. I recently had moved and had the game already installed but was too lazy to look for the CDs (still haven't found them) so I used a no CD crack and it worked. It was the same thing I had to do with Splinter Cell Chaos Theory because of the dumb Starforce garbage not working on 7 64-bit for that game.

(Don't know if this is against the rules or not because I own the legit game but had to use a crack to get it to work due to compatibility issues with Windows 7.)

there are some fixes from Creative for EAX EMU for older games Alchemy and theres also one for Realtek HD audio on there website. Also Adding Dplay.dll to system will get old games like master of orion 2 Windows 95 to work and other will work also and a good Glidewrapper also helped me with games.

Windows 7 x64 Ultimate RTM Build 7600.

Works Perfect (No Issues):

- Spore
- Resident Evil 5
- Grid
- Wolfstein
- Dawn Of War II
- Empire Total War
- Grand theft Auto IV
- Call Of Duty World At War, Singleplayer
- Demigod

Works, Some Issues:

- Age Of Empires I, Rise Of Rome: Random Freeze, i have to reset my cpu. I have tried run as administrator, all compatibilities but the freeze still occurs randomly.
- Call Of Duty World At War, Multiplayer: Crash to Desktop, Random. Sometimes it works for many hours without issues. Sometimes after one or two rounds it crash back to desktop. Unhandled Exception.

 

[marcusofmagna]

Games programs etc...

New editions are supposed to be more able more complete blah blah blah. I am sick of the money grubbing companies (Microsoft)who have forgotten who I am and only want to make themselves richer by forgetting those of us who have supported them from the beggining. Windows 3.1. Damn it my old games at least to some extent should run on the new formats!!!!!! I will leave you behind and maintain an out of date format that you cant make another dime on if you dont accomodate me .

 

[apollodominion]

it is true for windows being complete

Timeline and Links to other windows
Windows 3.11 - 95 - 95B - 98 - 98se - ME (WDM/NONWDM)
NT3 NT4 2000 - XP - 2003 (WDM)
Vista - 2008 - 7 - 8 (WDDM 1.1/1.0)

Too keep my Reg clean and working at peak speeds i use Tune Up Utility's 2010

Only game i cant get to work is Sacred 2 since 7 is not supported as yet XP/Vista only it goes to show 7 is allot different to Vista in terms of whats under the hood

I also get my classics from GOOD OLD GAMES Even Tho i have them already so its ezy to use Buy Download and install and play no tweaking needed DOS box is integrated into games and or custom directX Drivers for windows games

apollodominion Have you tried getting Magic Carpet Plus to work on DOSBox I cant seem to slow the speed down in the game, it seems to run at 200fps and its unplayable, I have tried to Google setting for dosbox but nothing works atm.

 

[Dark Nova Gamer]

Final Fantasy XI - Both, fully working.
Final Fantasy XIV - Both, fully working.

No tweaks/hacks required!

Diplmacy (The 1999 Micropose game) works on Win7 x64

For nostalgias' sake I tested Diplomacy (The 1999 version released by Microprose - not the 2005 version released by Paradox Entertainment) on my Win 7 x64 (Professional) based PC.

I set it to install & run in "XP SP2" compatibility mode and it works 100%.

Speaking of nostalgia:

Mafia ~The City of Lose Heaven~ works on Windows 7 32bit when ran in compatibility mode with either XP or 2k, though the game will constantly crash upon quitting. No savegames and/or settings are lost, but for modern monitors you need to manually change the settings file in install dir to support resolutions such as 1920x1080

Mafia 2, of course, works flawlessly, lol, as well as the newest Worms ~Reloaded~
