hey guyze, i've got a few old games (cnc95 for example) i'd like to run again, just for the hell of it.

shit is, i can't even get the installer for these apps to run without giving me rief about incompatibility with a 64 bit system.

anyone know if theres some way to make really old games (which work fine on xp etc) to run on my windoes 7 64 bit system?

(already triex compatibility modes and such)

the installer is 16 bit, so just download a nocd patch installation for the game. other than that, you can run old 16 bit programs on dosbox.
