Well...I decided to install Pandora's Box on my Windows 10 laptop. I have the Puzzle Game of the year addition. I let Windows select the compatibility. It plays fine in XP service pack 3 compatibility. I do have to have the CD in my attached optical drive. I thought I had downloaded a no CD crack years ago, but when I try to replace the Pandora.exe file in the games file, the program won't launch at all, even trying to run as administrator or in compatibility mode. The only NoCD I know of is for Pandora's Box is for the original game, not the "Game of the Year" version which was released slightly more than a year later and included extra puzzles. Did that NoCD you have ever work with your "Game of the Year" version?

Oh, that's such a great game! Have you played it before?

Oh, wait until you get to the humor incorporating adventure games! This makes me want to play it again.

Yes they are, Jenny100. All need the discs in the drives except for the CSI games. Also there was no widescreen support for my laptop for any of the other games as well. CSI's played in widescreen.
Also, Windows 10 determined the compatibility without the troubleshooter as I recall, except for Dark Fall Lost Souls. I needed to tweak that one because the mouse didn't function well. I used the troubleshooter and the issue was resolved.

From my experience, as long as older disk games do not have any of the DRM that Microsoft has deemed unacceptable, they all install and play on Windows 10 pretty consistantly.
