I realize asking support for this old of a game can be asking a bit much but this game is one that is really a classic and the new game's cannot even touch it. The new games don't have the storyline or the playability that this game does – well that is just my humble personal opinion :-). I...

I wish to obtain a copy of Windows 98SE so I can play my older games that don't work on Windows 7. Most notably Jane's Combat Simulations USAF. Microsoft is no longer allowed to distribute Windows 98 because of some deal they made with Sun Microsystems (apparently you can get OSes like MS-DOS...

Yes, I have gone back to the archives and installed Diablo 1 on my computer. My operating system is the 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium. Now, the game itself is running fine, but the color scheme is all messed up. It looks horrible. I know it's a really old game and all, but is there anyway I...
