Puzz3D:

Thanks for the mod suggestion on SHIII. I'll check it out.

I have games as old as "Total Annihilation" that work on Windows XP now.

Some games have very dedicated fan bases that have developed workarounds for their games. "Red Baron 3D," for instance, has a problem with the sound that was solved by some very devoted fans. If I can't get the "compatibility wizard" in XP to fix the problem, I google for "[game title] xp". I'll quickly get work-arounds from fans. That saved "Clive Barker's Undying" for me. Also, some games have been patched since XP came out.

I've only sold to the used game store once, and now I regret doing that. I sold "Close Combat: The Russian Front" after I absolutely could not get it to run on XP. Now I wonder if it would work.


Yeah, most of my games come from the bargain bin. You'd be nuts to pay for a full price game, unless it's something really special that you must have right NOW.
That's very true. Any game, no matter how good it is, is headed for the bargain bin. Unless it's a million-seller or something from Matrix Games, its headed for the bargain bin within a matter of months, sometimes weeks.

I paid full price for Silent Hunter III, RTW and others. However, if there's a game I'm interested in and can't pay full price for, I'll wait and cruise the bargain bins and used game stores. "The Operative: No One Lives Forever" was great, and that was a bargain. Ditto for "Mafia."
