Windows 7 Game Compatibility List

[Luckystar]

Hello peeps,

Thought i would add my findings for the list.

I know some are real old, but there must be some vintage gamers out there that want to know.

All tested under Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Working with no issues

Grand Theft Auto III

Need for Speed Most Wanted

Enter The Matrix

Rallisport Challenge

Hot Chix N Gear Stix - It was stated before that this game hangs at the start of a race, it does but for a second and then plays flawlessly on mine.

Richard Burns Rally

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Working with Tweaks

Motocross Madness 2 - Compatibility mode (XP SP3), Disable Visual themes and Disable Desktop Composition

SWAT 3 - Compatibility mode (XP SP3), Disable Visual themes and Disable Desktop Composition
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not working at all

Tony Hawks's Pro Skater 2 - Crashes back to desktop before level begins to load.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Works one way only

X-Pand Rally - Cannot use disc for the game as pesky Starforce and their DRM are at it again BUT you can play on Steam!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, took a while to test but there you all go.

Lucky

Some Pinball results for Windows 7 Home Premium x64
(AMD Phenom X4 9600 - nVidia 9800 GT - Realtek HD Audio)

Working perfectly (no compatibility modes used):
SlamTilt: Resurrection


Working with issues:
Addiction Pinball (aka Worms Pinball)
- Color corruption on intro. Gameplay is fine.

Pro Pinball: The Web
- Needs compatibility mode (Windows 98/Me). Color corruption on intro. Gameplay is fine.

Pro Pinball: Timeshock!
- Intro runs too fast. Menus seem sluggish. Gameplay is fine.

Pro Pinball: Big Race U.S.A.
- Intro runs too fast. Menus seem sluggish. Gameplay is fine.


All games installed from Retail CDs.

I have just the opposite problem. Looks fine on intro but in game mode picture is corrupted. Running in Windows 98/ME compatability. Actually got it to run once, but next time I tried it, picture was corrupted.

Imperium Romanum

Does anyone know if 'Imperium Romanum' is compatible with Windows 7?

I have installed it but every time I try to run it, I keep getting the message:

Imperium Romanum.exe has stopped working - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

When I click 'Close Program', nothing else happens and no soultion as yet been sent to me.

I would appreciate any assistance that anyone can offer.

Train Town works prefectly on 32-bit.

Need for Speed Porsche 2000/unleashed works OK.

 

[dazco]

I beg to differ on the gears of war 32 bit only list. I'm running GOW, thats the first one, on W7 64 bit. It does require some MS patch i downloaded, and sorry i can't point you to it but i found it in a google search. Anyways, it's good on 64 bit.

The first page says Red Alert 2 works only on 64-bit, but I'm using 32-bit and it's working fine for me.

Rise of Nations...

...working perfectly on my Seven x64 in 1680x1050.

Were you able to get Thief II as well as the original or Gold to work on 32-bit Windows 7?

Finally got to installing the original Thief: Dark Project and yes, the affinity fix works perfectly. Thanks for that, though I specifically remember not having to use that fix before on Win7 lol xD
I assume the same fix will work for Thief II: The Metal Age.

Somehow, I prefer Thief II. The zombies in the original are friggin' hard to kill xD

Yes, it will. And I know how you feel. I got up to the 14th level (Strange Bedfellows) and beat that level in Thief Gold but the 15th level (The Maw) was just too creepy and the zombies cost me so many holy arrows. I particularly in Thief II enjoyed the Bank level.

Mount&Blade Warband works fine on 64bits, Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords too.

 

[AstaLaVista]

I know for a fact (I just finished them) that Call of Duty and United Offense (expansion) work on win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

Can't say the say thing for CoD 2 even though is in the list for W7/64 bit... can't make it work.

Edit: I was able to make CoD 2 work... don't really know why it didn't want to install previously but after a shutdown and restart... everything is back to normal.

Two Worlds 2 works perfectly on x86

 

[badkarma11]

Despite non-game related failures of my machine, I have successfully played the following under Win 7 x64 build 7600. All in single player mode (haven't tried multiplayer, not really my thing anyway)
Call of Duty World at War
Call of Duty Modern Warfare
Modern Warfare 2
Modern Warfare Black Ops
Crysis
Fallout 3.

Will add to list once I get my memory problem worked out.

 

[Gornot]

No need to report games that are already in the list on the first page (initial post)
Thaks for the contribution anyway, if you happen to have some old games you'd like to test (that aren't in the list), please do so

"Clive Barker's Undying" works on Win7 32bit... There is a, however, a windowed loading screen that appears just before the game actually starts; this can be buggy, but doesn't interfere with the game (which is tweak-able as hell in nVidia's Control Panel can add a bit more quality to these old graphics)
