I'm currently going through games I bought in Steam Bundles that I haven't got around to playing like Resident Evil Zero Remastered.

Does Dead Rising count? I saw Capcom is supposed to release this on Sept 10 or something.

I just installed Crysis again just for kicks. It's still a fun game.


The game that was hailed as the cpu killer. Still love playing it.

I'm still trying to get No One Lives Forever and the sequel to work on Win10 (64-bit).


Have you tried running a virtual machine in Windows 10? I have Windows XP running in Oracle Virtual Box (on Windows 7) and it runs some of my older games fine. Some don't work (I'm unable to install them or the controls won't work properly).




so build a retro gaming box, problem solved.
 
For XP go with say
 
Core2 Duo/Quad
4gb DDR2
Geforce GTX285


How do you go about getting XP currently though?




ebay friends, old OEM computers going to a scrap heap.
 
Honestly to save time go look for an old Optiplex 745/755 thats being retired, they sell for right around 40 around me, throw in a video card, they have a Windows XP license on the box usually and your all set, of course your limited to a single slot card.
 
Or go all out and talk to the folks over at vogons, they will get you set on the right track, but be warned you will end up with more stuff than you know what to do with lol.

I have a machine with XP on it so I can play older games. Have psychonauts, Myst Uru, on it. I'm into old school adventure games. Myst series, The Longest Journey, Syberia, etc. Speaking of which Syberia 3 is coming out later this year!
