Hi Christopher, I honestly have not tried any of the older games by L-Works on Windows 8.x nor have I tried Topspeedd from Playing in the Dark. However, I have tried some of Draconis's older VB 6 titles like Alien Outback, Monkey Business, and Dynaman, and yes they will work. They require a bit of extra steps to get them to work correctly as does any legacy VB 6 applications. Basically, install VB 6 dependencies, DirectX 8 legacy libraries, and installing the games locally to avoid Account User Control will get them to run on Windows 8.x.
