One of my many pastimes happens to be playing 90s games as they give me pleasure and waste away the hours. For example, I enjoy playing the game SimTower. Unfortunatly, my Windows2000 OS seems to be "too new" for the game. This happens with most of my games, especially my Maxis Sim games (if anyone has played SimTower, SimCopter, SimCity etc. they'd know how I feel.)

I know there are some patches that you can use in Run to boot the game and install it without a pesky Error message. I've done it before with other games. Anyone know of a site where I can get one of these fixes, if any?

**EDIT: that's "older" not "plder". Also, I am so fucking happy right now. I actually found a version of SimTower online that seems to be working. Although, my other games still dont work, so if anyone has one of those sites, I'd be indebt to your family.

Is it free? I'd give sim tower a go again. I loved to play it on my old mac.

I might be going back too much, but DOSGames.com (http://www.dosgames.com) has all the information you need to play DOS games on 2000 or XP.

Otherwise stuff that worked with 95 should be fine. Whats the problem there?
