Age of Empires 2 (and I think AOE1) work fine and they are 8bit/16bit
Vista 64, what's compatibility like generally with applications...
- Thread starter NeilF
- Start date
99% of apps will run on Vista64 or XP64
The 1% will be 32BVit specific and I think you will more often than not find, that there will a 64Bit specific version of that.
I have been running XP64 since its launch and there is absolutely NOTHING that wont run in XP64 that does not have a 64Bit equivalent or alternative ( Thankfully the alternative has always turned out to be superior anyway ) and Vista64 is no different.

They can't be 16bit because its not possible to run 16bit code on a 64 bit os.

Checked the empires2.exe for AoEII, and it does have a version tab, so it's probably 32 bit. However, I came across that when quickly checking compatibility for Fallout, which doesn't have the version tab. I also came across a forum link where Fallout was working in Vista 64 (http://www.rpgwatch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2067). So it looks like compatibilty might be a bit pot luck.

Spot on, I'm in the crowd that thinks MS should not have released a 32 bit version, but thats a whole other thread
I've got Fallout working under Vista Home Premium 64-bit. There's a work-around floating about on the net.
The only thing I've had problems with is Creative's crappy drivers.

I had no problems, been using it for 4 months or so now. Only thing I couldn't get to run first time was CoD2, but I just ran it in compatability mode. Max Payne 1 doesn't work atall, tried loads of times to get it to work.

Does this not work? I'm sure I read somewhere you can get it going.
