Silent Steel on x64 Windows 7

CaptainHaplo · 08-14-13, 07:16 AM

Anyone know of a way to install this on a 64 bit OS? The installer and game are 16 bit - so I am thinking the only option is a VM - and its not worth that hassle.

Maybe someone else has an easier way for me to revisit this old FMV game?

You're right, VM and an old 32-bit OS is the way forward - plenty of 95/98 discs lying around for nothing - all it'll cost you is time and effort. Don't think XP compatibility will help on this one - if it ever helps!

I installed SSN windows95 on a Win7 64bit OS with a DOS BOX and it works just fine.

The compatibility tab would not work since SSN was a 32bit program.
