Well, its time we moved. After a huge hit on the Windows Vista Compatible games (not only here but everywhere), I have decided to create the Windows 7 Compatible games. Its still ‘work-under-process’ but I got a bunch of games working great while others with minor tweaks. Hope this list is useful.

Good Ol’ Gates is at it again.
He pushes glich laden VISTA down our throats, now when we all run from VISTA to W7– I have to buy all new games for W7 64Bit. This seems to to be the only real way to run the games with out constantly resetting critical elements.
Thanks Bill, when will all your billions be enough
