i managed to get a program from 1997 to run on 7 once. took me about 45 minutes of compatibility finagling and ran like shit, but it worked. :\

...I once ran software from Chicago 58s (The earliest functional beta of Windows 95 known to exist - circa 1993) on Windows 7 -w-;
(Granted, it was all stuff like MS Paint and Notepad; stuff 7 comes with its own native versions of, so...)

Otherwise, yeah; most things usually require a lot of jumping through hoops to get compatibility features enabled. Lego Racers was a pain in the ass, for instance

ahh

I got 3D Movie Maker (1995) to install on Windows 8.

It just took some time to get the setup program running. It needed to run in some compatibility mode in order to be installed.

But running the actual program doesn't.

this was a game called Theme Hospital. i have a few other legacy programs i like (including a favoured art program that's compatible 95-XP but i can't use anymore because i registered the product key and it doesn't take into account the computer died and the company's in japan >>;; ), so 7 is also just easier.

I remember trying futilely to get Rayman 2 to run on 2k. My disc of it wouldn't install at all (As Ubisoft made the boneheaded decision to use a 16-bit installer for a 32-bit game), and once I obtained the GOG version, I found the control scheme for it was beyond terrible and there was no way to configure a game controller to be used with it, which has lead me to resuming my quest to find the Dreamcast version :\

Don't the console versions of Rayman 2 have English voices?
Also I have a copy of TGF from like the days of Windows 95. Yet to install it, though.

I believe they do. It's been a while, but I remember seeing a video comparing the original versions of that game (PS1, N64, Dreamcast, and PC).

Nice! Any plans for it yet?

I'm happy with my Christmas gifts! I got a ton of owl-themed things: A wallet from Pent, a necklace, blanket, travel mug AND photo print from my dad, as well as a tanktop with an owl on it reading "It's not how you look, it's how you see".

Also got a MASSIVE fluffy knit scarf (it's around 8' long), a soft wool sweater, several tie-dyed shirts (my dad picked them up at an art show he worked at), a few bottles of nail polish, a couple cute bras, a book on FORTRAN and microcomputer programming, a DEC bag, a few assorted clothing items and a very nice letter from Pent.

Glad you liked your gifts ^^

Going to meet up with my sister tonight. For now, I make sure I remember my passwords for my various MMOs -w-;
