So happy to hear it worked for you! Enjoy the game! I agree, I think it is an outstanding game, one of the best I've played.  Unfortunately, I haven't heard any news about Dreamfall Chapters. Currently, the creator is working on an RPG called The Secret World. Once he finishes this, hopefully he will begin working on the chapters again. It will probably be quite a while, though.

So far The Whispered World is running just fine in Win 7, 64 bit (I'm running the downloaded version). I'll add it to my list, along with Hamlet and Sam & Max The Devil's Playhouse.

has anyone tried the 4 disk version for the longest journey? Will it work also in NT4? Judy

No, you didn't miss it, Kayc! I just haven't added it to the list yet. I downloaded the GOG versions about a week ago and both played perfectly for me also in my 64-bit Win 7. I will be updating the thread later tonight. Do you have the GOG version or the CD version?

Thanks, Kayc... I'll add it to the first post. Let us know about the Might and Magic games - you never know!

I've been playing Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive, downloaded from Good Old Games, on Win 7 64 bit. It's playing just fine, except that the audio in the opening video sequence stuttered a bit the first time. After playing into the game, I replayed the opening video, the audio was fine the second time, with no stuttering. Strange, but there it is!
I've also been playing Riven, downloaded from Good Old Games. This plays well except that the "Ctrl/S" command for saving the game doesn't seem to work. Instead, I've been using "Alt/S" to bring up the menu and saving that way.
I'll update my list on Page 13 of this thread.
Oh, and I had problems with Azada downloaded from Big Fish on my system -- the first Big Fish game with a problem. It played veeeery slowly and the cursor seemed to be hampered by some sort of dead weight.

I hoped someone would respond, judith, but I guess not. I HAD the 4 CD version and was going to give it a spin, but found that the first CD was cracked.

Hi Draclvr; I only had one game that broke on me. The way I acted, you'd think I lost a little puppy. LOL. Oh well, I'll give it a whirl in the next week or so, too many other things going on right now. Getting ready to go to B.C. in a couple of weeks for my granddaughters graduation.

Well, I tried Safecracker 2006 & it was a no go for me. Tried playing compatability xp3 & xp2. I even tried to install it in xp2. The problem was the video was all jumpy & wavy. Maybe someone else will have better luck. Judy

Well, this was a nice surprise. Schizm (the 5 cd version) works perfect on win 7 64bit. I'm half way through replaying it, & not a glitch. Judy

I noticed a thread over in the ***GOG forum*** listing which of their games are currently working in Windows 7. They aren't specifically adventure games.

I'm off to check that out, Jenny. I thought for sure Real Myst would work, but it didn't... Thanks.

Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone installs and runs without a hitch on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
I think it was released around 2001.
Edit: I've finished the game completely. No issues whatsoever.
