What Games have you NOT been able to run in W2K?

[Se7enFX]

I am just interested which games people just have NOT been able to run no matter how hard they try....I JUST installed W2K and am just wondering if I will have any probs with any of my games.

 

[helppls]

An old game called The Grandest Fleet, but I've never been able to play that game anyway. That game, and another old game called Terminal Velocity. All the new games work great for me, but I've noticed significant loss of frame rates and overall gaming specs with Win 2k when compared to 98/ME.

 

[SendTrash]

Tomb Raider (any of them)

 

[GhettoFob]

NBA Live 2001, I've heard that a lot of the EA Sports games don't work.

 

[Blayze]

<< Terminal Velocity >>



I remember that game! Many hours of play there...

 

[Oda]

I sort of remember the name. Is Terminal Velocity one of the first 32 bit Windows games?

worms armageddon won't work correctly. Multiplayer is broken

tony hawk stateboarding 2 on win 2k pro , although a friend has it running on win 2k advanced server...
so, you might get this one running???...

 

[bertlaga]

sorry, double post

 

[sadb0i]

command and conquer red alert 1...i love that game...

 

[thraxes]

there is a patch to Tony Hawk running on W2K... works fine for me.

EA Sports 2000 titles don't work
NFS 3 &amp; 4 don't run either

Framerate loss is driver dependant. If you have an Nvidia card you can run OpenGL games without loss (compared to W9X), directX is a problem though but not so much as it used to be. I have no problems with a loss of 10FPS in a racing game that still reaches 60FPS...

O MY GOD!!! ITS 10FPS SLOWER!!! ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!!! arrrgh

Someone mentioned that Tomb Raider doesn't work, but I disagree seeing as how i JUST installed and played Tomb Raider II yesterday...

 

[RTSgod]

Grandest Fleet I do miss QQP.

Has anyone gotten Myst 3 to run in W2K? Cause I haven't been able to. May be a bad disc though.

 

[dbwillis]

EA Sports--Superbike 2001

 

[yos]

I can't get SWAT 3 installed and working...

 

[Pyxis]

<< I can't get SWAT 3 installed and working... >>



Hmm, Swat3 works for me on Win2Kpro

 

[yos]

Were there any tricks or did it install fine and just work normally? I get Fatal errors and then it closes the prog.

any help?

 

[tasslex]

I have EA's NHL 2001 and Madden 2000 or 2001 (don't remember) running on Win2K SP2, the only games I can't get to work are Really Old Ultima games.

EDIT: And bleem! and Connectix VGS have problems with Win2K, but that might just be me.

 

[Darkluck]

Mechwarrior 4 doesn't work, don't know about the rest of that series.......

 

[Maverick]

dos games are tough to get working with sound. I fired up The Incredible Machine 2 and once I tweaked the dos shortcut it ran fine. But no sound.

 

[Compuguru]

Worms Armagheddon.

 

[Raincity]

Red Alert And Command and Conquer. I can run it from the NT dos emulator without sound but I can not get it to install in Win95 compat mode with the apcompat utiltiy.
