I see... Well, I'll have to try it on the other computers some time then...

To all the Vista haters: if you can't keep your system stable, do not use computers. This system is not cure for every ilness, but it is not as bad as you wish it were.

I personally don't understand why some people despise Vista so much... Having used Vista for over a year now, I've been quite pleased with it... At the very worst it's no worse than XP and you've got to admit, Microsoft's vastly improved the interface... I've found it's a lot more pleasant to use than XP...
Admittedly Internet based individuals developing small megabyte sized titles like this one and Battleships Forever have fequently found that they have to retool their programmes to make them run (or at least run stably) on Vista and I've found many old titles don't run (or at least don't run properly) on Vista, but that's pretty much a given... I have games on my 98 right now that won't even run on my XP, let alone my Vista... Should we not have moved to DVDs just because DVD players can't run VHS tapes?
Seriously, why do you think some people hate Vista so much, skarczew?

I have no problems running DoomRL, AliensRL, Battleships Forever on my Vista.
Speaking of Windows 98 (and 95 too) - it was a DOS (a bit downgraded & changed compared to versions 6.20/6.22) in reality, with graphics interface that was hidding its true nature. Thats why 95% of DOS games did not have problem with it
WinXP, Vista are different systems, that originated from WinNT.
If you want to run DOS games, use DOSBox (google it). It emulates DOS pretty well, making possible to run games that are 15-20 years old.
As for "small windows games" and their developers, it is not their problem only. Most old drivers from XP do not work on Vista. But I am beyond the knowledge what the changes were and why M$ did that.

Reaction on post #2:
The game sometimes crashes when taking screenshots? That didn't happen to me before...
