Thanks. I was thinking of games by Draconis, BSC, PCS, GMA, Jim Kitchens'
games, etc. Sounds good.

Hi Chris,
Yes, but in a lot of the cases you manually have to install some missing
Visual Basic 6 and DirectX components in order to get them to work. Since
all of the games by Jim Kitchen, GMA Games, PCS Games, BSC Games, etc are
based on Visual Basic 6 legacy libraries these need to be installed
manually. One way to do this easily is by installing jim Kitchens Winkit
setup from his web site. That will install any and all missing Visual
Basic dependancies that no longer ship with Windows 7.
As for newer games written in Java or in .NET those work really well.
Depending on if the .NET based game uses DirectX 9 or XNA you will need to
install Managed DirectX or the XNA Framework, but that is no biggy. Java
games, such as those made by 7-128, comes with everything you need in the
7-128 Gamebook.
