So - In the vein of finding software made in the last decade, I have discovered that my old shoot-em-up games don’t work with Vista, and probably will not work with Windows 7.

What are the good games out there now? I liked Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament... Something I can play online with others would be good, but those I enjoyed playing even with bots... I generally like fantasy-based first-person shooter games with unrealistic weapons more than realistic combat games like Medal of Honor.

Heh...I’m still playing Nethack...so I probably shouldn’t be on the ask list....

Seems like there should be a way of running them in compatibility mode on Vista. Does it let you install them? If you right-click on the game icon and go to properties, is there a compatibility tab with possible adjustments?

Not that I know enough about games to really know if that’d make a difference...maybe someone else will speak up.

Children’s used clothing and toy sale was this past weekend at church. It has taken many, many years for Not Valerie to learn the concept of “nothing electronic, nothing with parts, no used computer games.”

Unfortunately Sister Mary Hamburner bought Luke a copy of Sims Coaster...for Windows 95. But Dad gets to be the bad guy and tell him it won’t work on our system.

Sigh...
