Welcome to The Game Engine! To get started head to our game directory. This site hosts a wide variety of information valuable to all gamers especially those that have spent tireless hours struggling to coerce buggy or outdated games to run.

Main focus:

+ General Bug/Crash workarounds and fixes
+ OS Compatibility Issues

Help us help you!

Our goal is to provide a user friendly resource focused on getting these old games working modern operating systems. This is a very large and complex goal even for the few games that we support and as such we need your help! Feel free to ask questions via the submit a question form, and comment on your experiences/issues on relevant posts whenever possible so we can improve our resources.
