Red Faction and Red Faction 2 both work with easy tweaks that are in the Steam forums. Old games often require such tweaks, I don't know why you didn't automatically look for them.

Red Faction is still fun today.

I looked for fixes. I found 'fixes'.

The stated fixes don't work for the RF2 issue I'm having.

I'll agree that Red Faction is still fun. Although I usually had more fun in the 'glass house' tech demo than in the actual game itself. :)

Both fixes worked for me with your issues, on Vista and now Win7, so... get crackin! There is a way.

Today's D2D sale is The Witcher EE for half-off.

Yeah, I'm sure there is, I just need to spend some time actually digging around the guts. No inclination to do that right now. ;)

GOG.com just unleashed a sale on their entire catalog. Good through Jan 3rd.

I'll have a look at that. Several games on there that I want to play again but they just don't like Windows and/or Vista....

Almost every game on GOG can work on Win7 64 bit perfectly using "home made" solutions. I think the number of games they actually had to do work on to get running is only a handful.

I've been unable to get Descent 1/2/3 to play nice with XP upwards (in the case of 1/2) or Vista upwards (in the case of 3) admittedly, I didn't try very hard, but as I don't have the addon for Descent 3, why not...? :D

That might be one of those with real issues, I never read about that game in particular. Digital versions of these old games are sometimes essential just because I no lonnger have floppy drives!

No, I need to save. But, so many deals. But, not really, because they're making me spend money!
