Computer Games

Can old computer games operate on Windows XP?

The games I am thinking of inparticular are QUAKE 3 ARENA, DUKE NUKEM & BLOOD.

Quake 3 arena runs perfectly – I have been playing the last couple of weeks =)

Duke and Blood don’t run under xp. You can try a program called Dosbox to run these older programs. I haven’t tested thos games on it however.

I do NOT recommend win2000 for any gaming.

I use win98 on a psyco upgraded computer I put together. I play all the good old games on there =)
