Hi John, Well, to start with Entombed was not designed to run on Windows 9x. It uses a bunch of fairly new components like .NET, SAPI 5, and the XNA Framework and I am pretty sure it wouldn't run on Windows 9x as it is just too old.
I'm pretty sure 3D Velocity won't work on Windows 9x either. For pretty much the same reasons as Entombed. It uses a fairly up to date version of .NET, uses SlimDX, and I don't think there is a way to get it to run on 9x. Another case in point is Eric the Cleric. It doesn't even run on XP that well let alone Windows 9x. Although, I am under the impression Breakerbox will be fixing XP compatibility. The point being there is a lot of accessible games and probably a lot of other mainstream software that simply will not run on Windows 9x. Its definitely had its days numbered. XP will eventually be the same way once libraries, APIs, and other things drifts away from supporting it. Cheers! On 9/12/13, john <jpcarnemo...@comcast.net> wrote: > I'd second this.
