Have to give Kudos to Microsoft...

The only building game I've ever enjoyed was the Rollercoaster Tycoon series.

Ugh... I think I burnt out a Monitor, and a CD drive playing that game. The later versions didn't have the same feel for me, original was always the best.

I still have a CD of one of those somewhere... need to find it again and see if it will run on Windows 8.

Not sure if the original will run on Win8 but the "Deluxe" version says it will - http://www.gog.com/game/rollercoaster_tycoon_deluxe

If it doesn't, I got VirtualBox and a corporate copy of XP.

No, it won't. There was a complex workaround for Windows 7. Railroad Tycoon was fun too. If you're into that sort of thing. Around the time I bought and played those, I was very much into Prince of Persia 3D. Amazing graphics at the time.

Not sure if it will help but a number of older games (like Sim City 4000) that are widely reported not to work on Windows 7 actually work fine if you choose to install it in a directory outside the /Program Files/ directory.

Really now? There goes next weekend.

you can also run applications in compatibility mode, sometimes it helps...sometimes it doesn't
