Does anyone know if there is a way to run the game 'The Immortals of Terra' on Windows 10?

If you're thinking of buying it for Windows 10, I wouldn't recommend it. There's probably a reason Steam doesn't offer it, and I can't find any tips on getting it running in Windows 10.

If you already have the game and you're trying to get it working, I'd recommend running it on an older computer with XP. If all you have is Windows 10, maybe something like DxWnd would allow it to run, but I really don't know. I can't find any instructions specific to this game.

I found this thread from GameBoomers.

This poster had Windows 7, but apparently the game uses TAGES copy protection.

Yes it does appear to have TAGES, despite what GCW says.
But that doesn't seem to be the only problem with running it.

For the TAGES problem you can try installing "the latest TAGES driver" which I believe is here
http://www.tagesprotection.com/5.5.htm

or using one of the No-DVD's you might find online, which may or may not be compatible with your version of the game. But there seem to be other problems with running the game on new computers related to newer hardware or drivers.

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend buying it to run on a Windows 10 computer if you don't already own the game.

I had this game on my shelf and thought I'd give it a try (now that I'm off BigFish) as I'm looking to
get back to playing more adventure games.

When I try to start the game I get this message:

'Please insert original DVD of 'Perry Rhodan'.' I do have the DVD that I used to install the game inserted.

I haven't heard of TAGES - what is that?

Maybe this game cant be played on Windows 10.

TAGES is a form of copy protection. Check out the link she gave you in her last post.
