Electronic Arts Top Ten Pack - BLUE

Rating:
Summary: Great Combo Pack
Review: 10 games on ten separate CDs. I liked five of the games and shared other disks with friends. The pack is a great value. Dune 2000, Theme Hospital (my 13-year old nephew thought this one was fun), and SIM Copter get played frequently. The pack also contains racing games, Tiger Woods Golf and Gettysburg.

Summary: Make no mistake - Some games do not work in XP
Review: I made the poor assumption that the bundled EA software would have been modified to be compatable with the newer operating systems. I bought this in a vain hope to relive the glory days of playing Red Alert and the like. Red Alert won't even install under Windows XP. Though I traditionally love EA's games, the support on their site is abismal - so don't try to find any quick remedies for this. If you still run the older Windows operating systems - this is probably a good buy. Good games overall and a budget buy.

Summary: You can use it in XP!
Review: If you want to play these games in XP, use the Compatibility Wizard. There's more about it in the microsoft support site.
