Non-XP Compatible Game List

Here is a list of games that have ben said as "Not runnable under Windows XP". If you see a game on the list that you have gotten to work in Windows XP, contact Kazer0 via PM to have the game taken off the list, and supply the way in which you can get the game to work in XP. If you have a game that you believe will not work in XP, post it here to have the game added to the list. The List consists of both Windows and MS-DOS games.

Confirmed Non-XP Compatible Games

Games that Work in XP, But With Errors
- One Must Fall 2097

Games taken Off the List
- Doom

As far as I know, Lego Studios is unrunnable on anything except '98.

Battlecruiser 2000 AD doesn't work (I keep getting a "Invalid OS" message")

By the way, you spelt compatible wrong. You spelt it "compatibe" on the subject and title.

Why was this moved from get old games to work? Its purpose was to keep peopel from asking for help with the same games when they dont work under xp.

Added fifa 96, Ishar-3, Ravenloft-Strahd's Possesion , Realms of Arkanina 2 , Alien Logic (Thanks to Rykion), TTR, System Shock Demo.

I added another category too! And im moving it back to finding old games. If it gets moved back here i wont move it again. The point is to lower the same posts for the same games.

whoa, time to downgrade...

I would appreciate it if people would post some games to add to the list. And MODs can feel free to add them as they please.

I remember theres a Star Trek game, which, although I forgot its name, I believe the Abbreviation is STTNG or like that, which needs a patch which is quite hard to find. And One Must Fall: 2097 wont run Single Player/Network on XP, or 2000. Competition mode works fine. And don't forget Doom's sound problems. And someone on msn told me that GTA2 works fine in XP (he probably has no VDMSound)

A final Unity?

25th Aniversery?

It was A Final Unity.

Whats a final uinity? And 25th aniversary? Are they games?

anyways, GTA2 Does NOT work. I have it. Says it is incompatible with the OS.

Added the games.

A Final Unity was a Star Trek Game. The full name was Star Trek: A Final Unity.

Added

Why not just add "Any game released prior to 1995" to the "Probably won't work under WinXP" list?

Should save a lot of time...

I agree.

CRAPCRAPCRAP, I LOVE TTDX

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Must...find...way...to...get...it...to...work...

Indenture (v1.7) for DOS, a clone of Atari 2600 Adventure, runs EXTREMELY slow on Windows XP.

People who try to play dos games on windows XP probably spend more time trying to configure it then actually playing games.

DOSbox 0.6 was just released if you want to try playing a real old game on a new pc.

Doom itself does have errors, however, there are multiple enhanced engines for it that do work in XP. JDoom and ZDoom can both be downloaded for free, the only requirement is that you have the main IWAD for the game, and a glide card.
JDoom can be found at http://www.doomsdayhq.com/index.php
and
Zdoom can be found at http://zdoom.org/
