On a side note, I've finally got the Master Sword in Zelda- The Wind Waker.

I've now completed every game in the MGS series. MGS2 is my favorite, odd as that may sound to those familiar with the series.

[Badger]

I bought MGS HD collection for xbox a while ago.

I played the start level of MGS2 sons of liberty, then quit. I was VERY disappointed. Snake Eater looks epic, but I fell that I can't play it until I've finished MGS2, which I dislike.

Nice. MGS2 was great but it was seriously the underdog here; TTS, 3 and Peace Walker curbstomped 2's bosses with theirs. I'd have figured you'd like MGS3 the most though.

Are you gonna play MGR: Revengence when it comes it? I think it looks pretty sweet.

MGS2 is on of those games that improves massively as it goes on. The ending is nuts too. I also really love the music and the start to the game, I found the Tanker to be really nice and fun stealth action. The Big Shell bits had nice stealth too and the battle against the Harrier and the Metal Gear Rays... gold. Fatman, Vamp and Olga were fun too. The story is definitely the heaviest on the ground too, and deepens the whole game quite a lot.
MGS1 is solid (heheheheh) in most aspects and it's probably the most consistent game.
MGS4 has the best controls and overall gameplay but the story and environments are a bit eh.

I dissagree, I tried Peace Walker but lost interest almost immediately. The levels are short and ammo is far too scarce. As for 3, I'm not sure. The Pain, The Fear, The Boss, and especially Volgin were less interesting to me (Volgin's fight is just plain bad, though the Shagohod is a good fight, much better than the one against Rex in MGS), and I found Fatman and Vamp to be more entertaining bosses,  partly because they had a much stronger story. The Fury, The End and Ocelot are great though.
MGS3 isn't my favorite. There were several sections (like those damn fire troopers and that damn helicopter and those damn scientists and that boring hike with EVA) that felt weaker than the bits in 2 (even the bit with Emma is less taxing than the hike :P). The story is also a bit thin and really only 2 characters get any exposition; Major Zero doesn't seem very fleshed out which makes his sudden importance in 4 a bit jarring and EVA is just annoying. Cambell+Naomi+Mei Ling+Master Miller(no spoilers:P), Otacon and the AIs+Snake & Mr.X(no spoilers:P) & Otacon were just more characterful. In 3 everything felt just a bit too simple, and I only ever really looked forward to the bosses because the actual stealth gameplay elements were weaker due to the open areas and the camo mechanic, which was better applied in 4.
So really 3 ties with MGS1 as my least favorite of the main releases, though the first game has my second favorite story.

I'll get Revengeance if it turns out to be good.

GOD DAMNIT, WINDOWS!

Colin McRae 05 + F1 Challenge 98-02 don't work on Windows 7

BF3, F1 2011 and a ton of other modern games don't run on Windows XP.

GOD DAMNIT, WINDOWS!

Colin McRae 05 + F1 Challenge 98-02 don't work on Windows 7

Try running in compatibility mode (right click on the .exe, properties, compatibility tab, tick 'run in compatibility mode for' and Windows XP should already be selected in the drop down). If that fails, keep compatibility stuff the same, and go Control Panel, System and Security, System, Advanced System Settings, on the advanced tab, click  the settings at the top, then click on the Data Execution Prevention tab. If it is not selected already, click  'turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select:', then click Add, and find the .exe of the game you want to run, make sure the box is ticked, and click apply and okay, then try. This has worked for me with both Dungeon Keeper, and Thief: The Dark Project, and if I have been unclear in any way, just let me know.

[Badger]

Doesn't work.

[Chaosmancer]

Doesn't work.

Hmm...other than making sure that you ran it from the same thing you added to the DEP/changed compatibility mode of (i.e. if you changed the one in the main folder and then ran it from the desktop shortcut, it may not work (total guess there, I made sure to add both to the DEP just in case)), I can't really suggest much else, and I'm pretty sure I don't have the game lying around anywhere, so I can't muck around to try and get it to work...only other possible suggestion I can think of is taking it out of program files if it's there (apparently, Windows 7 can screw up some old games if they are in Program Files, not sure how, it was just a random suggestion I saw on the internet when I was trying to get Thief to work).

As it goes, what error messages are appearing when you try to run it, or is it just a case of you try to load it, and then it suddenly doesn't respond and needs to close?

[Badger]

When I open it, it come up with a box that looks a little like this:

[Chaosmancer]

Hmm...not sure if it will work, but try that http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-gaming/your-version-of-microsoft-deprecated-dll/a9a72749-551d-49b6-b94b-4397350273f8 (I gave up thinking and just decided to see if I could get something that may work). Sorry that I couldn't help at all, but I will keep looking.

Edit: Failing that, try this one http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Will_Colin_Mcrae_rally_2005_work_with_Vista it may be to do with Vista, but it also might work.

[Badger]

I didn't get that error. If it helps, I did a bit of e-reading a while ago and I think it has something to do with a Starforce protection system. More info here: http://community.codemasters.com/forum/off-topic-949/447582-windows-7-vs-cmr-2005-a.html

Anyways, thanks for helping. If it doesn't work I can always use my old xbox copy.

Randalph is OBVIOUSLY Noodle. He made another alt today, called oddfuturenoodle or something.

On the off chance that it isn't Noodle, he should play Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal. Written in his language.
