I dont understand what you're asking mate...

What are your specs?

PhillyDee · 25 Apr 2011 at 16:59

It might, it might not.
I would expect it to work. Theres bound to be a forum out there that can answer the exact question!

BringTheRain · 25 Apr 2011 at 17:00

Minimum: Windows 95/98, Pentium 133 (recommended 166), 16 MB Ram, 100 MB disk space, 1024x768 capable video card AND a monitor capable of this resolution.

Thats what the steam info is.

Specs are

E6600
2 gig of ram
win 7 64bit
Hd3450 something or other.

I dont game, i just like playing games like this. This will be the first pc game i have played in 10 years

I cant get older games to work like c&c you see due to win 7

If in doubt, it most likely won't work.

I'll go have a wee look.

Hopefully this will shed some light. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...indows-7/626dc959-3292-45ae-b05c-df5c66d52523

On the store page for games there should be a link on the right that says "Visit the forums", click that and you should be able to find out whether it works straight away or not, and whether there is a fix needed if it doesn't

.

Since you want Railroad Tycoon you might be interested in Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe, it's an open source remake of the origional TTD, thread about it here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18250372&highlight=transport+tycoon

Oh sorry, I was squinting with the sun in my eyes, and was 100% sure you wrote Rollercoaster. I guess all I read was Tycoon.

Sorry I couldn't make a more useful post, not so much into virtual trains.

Railroad Tycoon II (from Steam) works fine for me on W7, don't think I had to change anything for it either.

BringTheRain · 25 Apr 2011 at 17:22

Awesome, just downloading c&c3

This is all very new me. Never played any hungry spec games like cod etc

Thanks guys

I played the likes of wolfenstien and doom on steam with windows 7, they seem to use some sort of witchcraft to get them working so dont see why railroad tycoon wouldnt work.

They use DosBox, RT2 just runs though.

In that case, have you checked out Warzone 2100? (if I remember it right, small awesome RTS)

Oooh god watch out for the steam sales they are very tempting!

BringTheRain · 25 Apr 2011 at 17:52

Well GREAT start

C&C attempts to load, then nothing

No errror msg or anything HUFF

Utnac · 25 Apr 2011 at 18:00

Which C&C game on steam? Try verifying the itegrity of the game cache by right clicking the game and selecting properties. Do you have a good enough PC?
