Star Wars Dark Forces+ XP PRO Sp2!

I just found my old Dark forces 1 and 2+ MotS!

I was wondering if I am able to play these classics on Win 98 or Win XP.
And advice oh what obstacles I may face with todays tech in Hardware and software from the past.

Thanks.

Have you tried compatability mode?

Right click on the shortcut and go to the compatability tab.

No compat needed... Minus the music though...

If you're experiencing problems, then you may want to give compatability mode a try. I know a good many 98SE program that will partially run on XP, meaning that a number of the program's features will not work.

Might as well worth a shot.
