| How do these fairly older games do on Vista as of now? I myself tried running DOOM95, but unfortunately my graphics card decided to die when I tried running the game...
So when I get it fixed, I'm curious if it's even worth it to try and get these games to run.
The main ones I'm after are:
Starcraft
Starcraft: Broodwar
DOOM95 (Collector's Edition (ran fine in XP))
and maybe some other random ones here and there.
Thanks everyone! |

| Some really old DOS games, such as the original Doom and Doom II (which run in 16 bit mode) can't run anymore because they want to go full-screen. However any windows app (such as doom95) ought to work just fine. I have the original Empire-Deluxe for windows - in glorious 16-colors no less! and it works just fine.
Note that the old dos games will still run under dosbox, version 0.60 seems to work just fin in Vista and handles the old 16-bit games. Sound doesn't work, but I have not tried VDMSound yet in Vista.
