You guys into the John Carpenter film "The Thing"?

AndyFair

The NPCs also react to the way you behave, and become more paranoid as the game goes on. . . if they do it right, this could be the horror game of the century! OK, Clive Barker's game was atmospheric, but it just didn't do it for me - it still seemed as thou ...

Wing Commander 4

I have the DOS version and patched with the WIN95 patch from EA and now when I run I get a popup saying VirtualProtect() failed. I get that same error using compatibility mode and qfixapp. Any ideas? Btw, the game runs fine on XP, but I hate XP ;(.

SB Live and Unreal Engine Games

pmistry
Deus Ex, Unreal Gold, and Unreal Tournament, all of these games run with very distorted/crackling sound under Windows XP Pro for me, this happens 9 times out of 10. What I don't understand is how sometimes it works perfectly fine, but if you exit the program and relaunch it, the crackling returns.

Old DOS Game?

embj
Is there anyway to slow down the movement of Theme Park World in XP? I am talking about the old one just so you know. It is just too fast. It was even too fast on my old 466mhz comp. Thanks y'all. .

Final Fantasy 7 (Specific Problem)

worldgate989
I managed to get the game to work following the instructions from what several people said but I have a problem. When you goto the chocobo races the game locks up then crashes back to windows 2000. I have Service Pack 2, App Compat Update, and then the App Compat 1.

Problems in Win XP

Malatar
I recently installed WinXP Pro and my new PNY Geforce 4 Ti4600 card on my 1Ghz Athlon box (512Mb). I've been having problems in Counterstrike and an older game called Sacrifice. Sometimes it will lock up, though most frequently it will just crash to the desktop.
