Gorky 17 one of my all time favorites is one of the worst optimised games regarding GPU, its almost impossible to get the original graphics with modern GPU, only seemed to work back then with voodoo cards, as soon as i got nvidia it was game over, now we hav to use software like dgVoodoo and that still doesnt solve the fact that 'layers' seem to slide over another resulting in a unplayable mess. :) That makes sense, you can't support games for decades, but if coded properly games can run on almost any windows as long as they don't use some windows dependent libraries that are different in most windows.ĭesperados (the first game) runs on XP and win 7 64 bits, at least it ran on my XP and win7, thats the retail, no patches, so games can run if properly coded, and no 'exotic' libraries are called. But they shouldn't expect many computer-related businesses to continue to cater to them.
How long should makers and sellers of software be expected to officially support a given OS? "One more year, one more year"?īasically, if someone wants to keep running a nearly-sixteen-year-old OS, then good for them, I guess (though it's still incredibly foolhardy to have that OS hooked up to the Internet). Extended support for it ended 3 years ago, and support for its successor, Vista, apparently just ended a couple days ago, as well. If it were a person, it would be in high school. XP hasn't been a modern OS in many years now.
HunchBluntley: GOG's original purpose was always to sell old games that run on modern OSes.
