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.

Hi all
Let me clarify what I'm asking here. Do the good old Classic games from
companies like LWorks and Playing In The Dark work under Windows 8/8.1?
What about those from Draconis? These are games I'm talking about and
not ones released recently. I know Shades of Doom 2.0 which is in public
beta currently works just fine under my 8.1 installation at least. Any
comments welcome. Thanks!
