Napoleon Games on Windows 8.1?

Post by Speedysteve »

Hi All,

I've got the original BG Napoleon games (Russia, Waterloo etc) and I don't believe they work as standard on Windows 8.1?

Any help as to if it's possible to run them on this platform?

Thanks

One excellent thing about Windows 8 is that it emulates any Windows version back to the first. So do this. On the game exe (might be the desktop icon) right click and select Troubleshoot Compatibility. This should get you into the correct emulation model to run the game.
