>> and even then you could still get some of them to work in compatibility mode Barring that, you still have the option of spinning up a VM running an older version of Windows to play those really old games. I actually have to use a VM to play some recent games (in my particular case, Street Fighter X Tekken, Skullgirls, Blazblue Calamity Trigger), because NVidia's Optimus tech seems to prevent some games from running on my Lenovo Y50. Fortunately VMWare virtualizes the GPU workload quite well. I was surprised that I could easily get >60FPS at 1080p with Street Fighter X Tekken inside a VM.
