COMPATIBILITY:
Every computer is different. 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. Compatibility issues are the responsibility of the
buyer. I 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, I am not responsible for
software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
I will give the platform
information on the box, but specific platforms and compatibility with
your system 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. Some games will work with a program
called Program Compatibility Wizard
(http://www.sierrahelp.com/XPHelp/CompatibilityWizard(MS-KB).html). 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. If your
MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment
(ie. MAC OS X 10.5
or Higher OR Intel Macs), you can try running it using the free
program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not
ensured. SheepShaver is a free MacOS run-time environment for BeOS and Linux that allows you to run classic MacOS applications inside the BeOS/Linux multitasking environment. Please
research prior to purchasing.
Please keep in mind, I
am not a computer expert and cannot guarantee that the game will run on
your system, even with the Program Compatibility Wizard or SheepShaver.
I am not responsible for
software
compatibility problems.
