I remember a thread from a while back explaining how to install old games on to newer systems but haven't been able to locate it. I have some old Sierra games I would love to replay (including Shivers, thanks to Greyfuss) but have forgotten how to do it. I vaguely remember that there is a way of persuading XP to accept many Win 3.1 and Win 95 games and I would be really grateful for advice. Thanks.

Oh dear, that's something I haven't heard of. Can I download a new installer?
