I use an external CD Drive to play some disc games on my Win 10 computer - as it didn’t come with a “built in” one.

But I can play some really old disc games that way as I get an on-screen message telling me that some necessary files - to enable installation - can be garnered from past Windows Updates during the process.

At this time, many years later, I'm not even sure what I meant by that. lol

Example: Death on the Nile downloaded perfectly, and played well on my Windows 11 machine. Peril at End House, from the same series, wouldn't downlad at all. Conclusion: If you can download it, it will likely play on a modern machine.


For whom the games toll.
They toll for thee.

Ah, okay. Thank you. Peril at End House is the other one I have only on disc. If I want to replay it, I guess I'll just try the disc. I actually still use my Windows 7 computer for some of the older games (but don't download to it anymore). Fingers crossed it keeps working for another 10 years.

I've just started (re)playing Key to Ravenhearst. Played it YEARS ago, so I remember some of it kinda sort of. Anything resembling a puzzle might as well be fresh. I'll let you know if I stick through it or not. Probably will.
