Games for Vista

New_compforum_user · 03-24-2007, 01:52 AM

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone knew of any good 'pass the time' sort of games for Vista. I'm talking about ones you can just download (i.e. like the chess, hearts, freecell games that come with Vista). I'm just looking for something new to play when I'm bored, and don't feel like going out and purchasing a package of games.

download little games from sites.

If you have any problems, you can right click on the game shortcut on you desktop, then go the compatibility tab, then choose XP SP2, then hit apply. You don't need to do this if it works without. Hope everything works out.

please guys, I don't like spam in my threads, and i'm willing to bet that neither one of you even bothered to read what I had typed. I already know how to get xp games to run on Vista, that's not what I was asking.

I don't know of any off the top of my head, but if you go to download.com, they have plenty of free "pass the time" games.

For random pass the time games I'd just go to shockwave/miniclip or any other flash game site.

Nutter please make your own thread. Thanks.
