    Retro-compatability
    « on: August 30, 2009, 11:09:18 AM »
    I've got the city building game "Zeus: Master of Olympus" on Sold Out Software (they re-release very popular old titles).

    There's an expansion back "Poseidon: Master of Atlantis" which I'd really love to get (it has new buildings, new missions and, best of all: a mission editor). This expansion back hasn't been released by Sold Out Software, so only the original Sierra versions from years ago are on sale. I've bought a new laptop with Windows Vista, and of course this wasn't invented back then.

    My copy of Zeus says that it works on Windows 95/98/Me/XP, but I've just installed it and played it on my new Vista laptop; no problem! I've managed to find a bundled copy of Zeus and Poseidon on Ebay, and it says that it runs on Windows 95/98/Me/XP too. (It won't mention Vista because Vista didn't exist when the product was made).

    * If Zeus ran on Vista, then would the expansion pack Poseidon run on Vista?

    * If Poseidon didn't run, then would there be a Vista compatability patch that I could download?

    * If all else fails, then does anyone know where I could get a mission editor for Zeus?
