on weither they will work on xp.
here is the list.
Lemmings Revolution
MDK2
Deus Ex
Heros of Might and magic 2
Total Annihilation
Unreal Tournament
Unreal
And heavy gear.
Was just wondering if they will work on xp.
and all so i've done searches for heavy gear updates,lemmings updates, total

released for the games.

Hi William
NT compatible keeps a fairly good list
http://www.ntcompatible.com/compat.php?cat=games&sort=WindowsXP&idx=0
Google groups is also a wealth of information and contains previous posts
made to many newsgroups including this one.

Lemmings Revolution - shown as working
MDK2 - Shown as working
Deus Ex - Shown as working
Heros of Might and magic 2
Total Annihilation - Shown as working
Unreal Tournament - Does work
Unreal - Does work
And heavy gear.

To ensure your machine operates well, be sure to install up to date versions
of drivers for your chipset (really important on VIA boards), graphics and
sound card.
Will you be playing games as the administrator or a limited user?

I'll be admin, i'm admin on all the computers in my house.
and i've checked the list, but i've heard people saying a game works, and
the compat list doesn't list it, or says it wont work.
and i've seen screen shots of games working that the compat list says
doesn't usually work.
I have every thing up to date installed
via,graphics,sound,every thing.
but thanks for the help.
I'll try to find updates to the games.

You may need to use Compatibility Mode with some older games. You can find
details in Help and Support, and also here:

A great place to find patches for any game is "The Patches Scroll":
