Do these games work on windows 7?

I've had Sub Command working just fine ,with a few minor issues,on Win 7.

As for Fleet Command and 688(I),I do not have either game so I could not say.

I would import all the fleet command scenarios to DW and play DW. I want to get into Sub Command and 688i.

My rule of thumb is to make sure games are not installed in a path containing the "Program Files" folder. Modding, editing/saving missions, or even just adding them to the Scenario folder (this goes for atleast Sub Command) will cause Win7 to choke with a UAC warning. If you don't notice this because it happens in the background then it times out and the file changes will be ignored. Installing it in something like C:\Games\NavCombPack avoids this watchfull eye of Win7.

I have DW, Sub Command, and Fleet Command all working great on my Windows 7 - 64 bit machine.

I am adding the naval combat pack to my list to buy.

I just bought the 3-pack and loaded it up. Sub Command works fine, but has the usual NVIDIA hiccup of DW. It is dealt with the same way. 688i does not like Windows 7, even in compatibility mode. It crashes on beginning a mission. Fleet Command is extremely ornery and obstinate in Win7. The flashing screen issue, the NVIDIA hiccup and other issues make this difficult, if not impossible to play.

Consequentially, I loaded the games on my old WinXP laptop with a weak integrated ATI Radeon chip in it. All three games ran just fine with no other tweeks.
