Hi Does anyone know what I can do with all my old games I have dozens of really cracking games that I would dearly love to play again but cant on my laptop. Games like Syberia, Paradise, The longest journey .Scratches, Gabriel Knight, Post Mortem all the Runaway games I could go on a while. LOL.I have tried to play a few, they install ok but will not play. I know I can buy them on GOG.com but it doesn't seem right when I have them on my game shelves. My friend gave all hers to charity I think that is what I will have to do but it is so hard to part with them, they see like old friends LOL
Any ideas what do you do with yours?
Regards
Maggsie

Hi Maggsie...I took my old games to my library. They rent them out to people. Try that. Good luck.

maggsie,

Post at our Glitches forum for individual games you want to play and see what our tech experts say. They might know how to play those games.
Also check the stickied threads of Draclvr on top of the Glitches page to see what old games have been checked already. luck

Some laptops just aren't suitable for games (outside of emulation), and you can't replace the graphics card the way you can with a desktop.
