I would not be surprised if this were already a topic somewhere, but alas, the board’s search function is limited in the extreme right now. So here’s me launching a new topic despite its possible redundancy.
I’m a PC gamer who doesn’t have big bucks or a huge-ass gaming system. I’d like to try a variety of games that will ideally work on Vista without crying foul. From past threads I’ve been told Gametap is a good deal, especially for older games, and I’m about 75% sold, but I’d like to hear more from current or recent subscribers/users if possible.
-
Any other Vista PC folks? Is it worth it or are there still too few working games available for Vista?
-
If you do have Vista, how well (if at all) do the older games work? Do you need DOSbox or some similar program, or does Gametap have its own?
-
Whether you have Vista or not, do you recommend the subscription?
-
Any tips? Favorite game discoveries? My interests are FPSes, mostly, though I also enjoy point & click adventures, puzzles and racing games. Don’t have the patience for RPGs.

What downsides are there? Does it slow your system down? Do you have to be connected? Spyware or other nasties included in the software?
Thanks all!
