(16-bit applications do not run on 64-bit systems)" The above explanation I found on the homepage of another great old game which do not run in 64 bit either. Below is 3 options that all work well for that game. Personally I use option 3 and dos saga but option 1 sounds easier to me if it work. 1: Can't be done natively in Win7 64-bit. However if you have Win64 Pro or Ult. you can install the XP Mode option for free from MS. That's a 32bit version of Windows. 2: The other option on that box would be to have a dual OS installation. This way you keep Win7 64bit and have the option to boot into it or Win XP at system start-up. 3: Install a virtual box like Vwware, then install XP into Win7 via VMware.

I hope Arnaud our french GM or Rick may find something to help, otherwise AK is condemned. I have never been able to use dos saga and if i get a new computer with windows 7 if i can't use winsaga it'll be finished. Thanks for pointing out that problem. sorry but i have no idea.

I will be taking a break for the summer and will not begin any full games until September. There are currently 2 games running as well as 2 private games. If you wish to join a private game then post a message in this site asking for an invite. The private games are "self-run" whereby I do all the GM duties but the players have flexible deadlines wherein one player will volunteer to remind players about sending in their orders. This simplifies things for me so that I can concentrate on running the games with no need to worry about sending out reminder emails. hi Keith, welcome back to Adkings!
