Old games :(

~~Arnoldio~~ · 2009-03-28, 12:11

I dont have any SP games i didn't play through, so i got an idea! There was a prehistoric CD of Jane's AH64D Longbow somwhere in my bedroom...I went to find it, got both CDs + Comanche 3

. Sadly, they dont work because I have vista 64bit, it doesn't even run setup directly from CD.

Any fixes because they are quite fun atk chopper sims IMO

did you try dosbox??

If DOSBOX don't work, get a hold of vmWare. Set up a virtual computer with plenty of memory etc and install on old OS onto it (98, XP, whatever). With the vmWare tools, you should be able to play the game alright.
