COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like
people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may
install and work flawlessly on
one system but may
need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly
the OS platform
running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed,
etc. Many times manufacturers
release updates to
games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get
the
game going on your
computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the
buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words
"system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for
software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the
auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac,
Linux...)
This is a generic
statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to
be
researched by the
buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not
specifically state they will work on
that release, but
only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not
most,
will work on XP or
higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all
items purchased
on how to do this
adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that
an item will
definately not work
on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to
play
it with a free
DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating
Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems
not being able to
run 16-bit
programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need
to play
it with a free
DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh
programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if
you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research
Google on how to do
this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your
MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment
(ie. MAC OS X 10.5
or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free
program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not
ensured. Please
research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you
have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD,
DVD,
floppy drives, etc.)
If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the
needed 3.5" floppy
drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
