Just wonder if this can be done... I had VPC before with XP, but I don't have that anymore, forgot the CD at my home, I'm at college now. So I didn't install it again after I clean installed Panther. But I never tried install a game on VPC to see if it works before. I don't think it would though, reason why I never tried, but I could be wrong.

I'm sure you could install the game fine, but you'd run into trouble trying to play it. Performance would be deplorable for most games that had any need for framerates. Simple stuff like card games, etc. might play ok. But anything requiring 3-D accelleration won't do very well...

Games that used MMX and were 98 era would probably play acceptably. The PinBall game supplied in XP works suprisingly well, but any modern game wouldn't. VPC only emulates a Pentium II with a Trios 64 video card and MMX acceleration no matter what speed the Mac running it.
