Yes, John would have told me to go for it. He was the one who suggested that I buy the first Alienware instead of messing around with lesser laptops, all those years ago. Mind you, that was partly because he couldn't resist buying the latest and greatest professional Canon photography gear every time a new camera body came out. I still have it all. There's a LOT of it. Unfortunately it's old technology now, even the lenses.
EDIT: And I see that the nice fellow I was dealing with knocked a few hundred dollars off the final tally.
Actually, I have tried to use the new 5.0 Game Manager on an old Windows 7 computer as well as on our Windows 11 computer, and it would not run on Windows 7 but instead gave me an error message.
If you are referring to Lucas Fish's posts, he is well aware that Dire Grove and some other titles do not run on Windows 7.
I finished Tormentum 1: Dark Sorrow. I liked the game but I did not know at the beginning that there were different ways to solve the puzzles and that I was being judged or tested so I ended up "bad" from the get-go.
I think I am going to play Nancy Drew #24: The Captive Curse next.
Somewhere along the line I retired; turned 80; and found myself with lots of time. As a result I can reload and play all my old favorites (The "syberias", most of the "Mysts", and especially "URU") for hours at a time. There are very few advantages to getting old, but that is one of them.
