OFF TOPIC: Regarding SSI games.

Post by flakfernrohr »

I have all the old SSI armor games on CD. I especially would like to be able to load them on my gaming computer which runs Vista 64. The computer is well capable of handling them as it scores a 5.9 on the Microsoft Performance scale.


Searching the web all I am finding is a bunch of non-working downloads from sites that route you to all sorts of pages that you are trapped to either buy some software or just quit proceeding and you never get to the download link. Or you have to sign up for a membership which usually reverts to a monthly subscription after a trial period for some small amount. I haven't been able to find the download links by signing up for a trial period. It all seems a rip off. I also have found some good websites, but lots of the links are dead and the emails come back to me. :?

Does anyone have any sources or ideas about where I might be able to find any methods to accomplish loading these games on my computer and having them function properly? Maybe it is not even feasible, I don't really know.

Thanks to all of you for your response and courtesy in advance.
Old Timer Panzer General fan. Maybe a Volksturm soldier now. Did they let Volksturm drive Panzers?
