Next game to try for winex3.1


Hi. I've purchased a subscription to winex3.1. After finding that none of the computer games I have work, I went to the games list, and bought the game which seemed to be the most likely to work (Max Payne). That works (so far) perfectly, but I'm not too interested in violent games.

What would people recommend as the best non-violent game for using with winex3.1? Preferably something that can be bought reasonably inexpensively second hand.

Thanks in anticipation,

Ross-c

Re: Why did I buy Max Payne

Hi. The game cost me £6.00 second hand, which is about US$9. While I'm far from well off, £6.00 is hardly going to put a big hole in my bank account.

I certainly wouldn't buy a game I didn't like at full price.

Cheers,

Ross-c

$9? That could buy you 9 hambugers here at McDonalds!

I assure you that I'm even less of a fan of McDonald's hamburgers than I am of violent video games :-)

Cheers,

Lords of the Realm II worked almost perfectly for me (I'm still having a problem with the sound). It's one of the best games ever created.
