Posts: 33 Threads: 0 Joined: N/A August 24, 2022 at 7:57 PM So recently I remembered a game I liked when I was a little kid, which is very old too. By old I mean voodoo cards old. Is there a way to make it run on my PC? I tried VMware with Windows XP and it didn't do the trick after 7 hours of trying. The best result I got was game launching and immediately crashing when I press any mouse or keyboard button Posts: 16 Threads: 0 Joined: N/A August 25, 2022 at 2:37 AM Im going to try to go in detail to help you here. I know it might sound a little stupid but try looking at eBay and look for a older PC that you can play older games then check https://www.myabandonware.com Or https://cs.rin.ru/forum/index.php which could have the games your looking for if you come across more in the future. Also if this game your referring too is on a console you could look at emulating the game by downloading the rom at vimm.net and looking up on YouTube how to setup your game and emulator is also a good option if all else fails try searching for eBay for discs. I know I probably did too much but I hope this helps in your future endeavors good luck! Posts: 89 Threads: 0 Joined: N/A August 25, 2022 at 6:42 AM have you try DOS emulator?

Lol, yeah, I probably still have my very old PC from ancient ages somewhere in the garage, maybe I should do it. It's just about the game, it's an extremely old russian-made game for pre school kids, so lauching it is just an extreme pain in the ass. I managed to get it's iso from like old-pc-games dot com or something lol. I think bringing my old pc back to life is the easiest solution maybe, if I manage to install XP on it with all the drivers, I remember that there were lots of problems with that

Never tried it, only for daggerfall recently, maybe it would work with it Although im not very good at DOS emulation I would highly recommend searching online on how to set DOS emulation up before trying to find your old PC as I would feel that DOS would work in your current situation.
