Doesn't Work in Vista
--
-All DOS games (most will run in DOSBox emulation, though)
-Klik & Play and all games made in KNP do not work at all. (:bummed:)
-Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance doesn't load. Annoying!
-Re-Volt -- crashes during loading. Fixable?
-Speed Busters Demo 3 (Mexico track) -- menu loads, but game crashes when you attempt to load the race.
Work, with fixes (patches, compatibility mode, etc)
Full Games
-Claw -- Req. registry key addition to disable the DVD movies, which do not work ingame in WinXP/Vista, though oddly the lower-quality CD movies do, and the DVD ones can be watched through any movie player.)
-Moto Racer 2 -- requires Compatibility Mode (XP or Win9x modes).-Pod -- Requires 3Dfx emulator (properly configured) and multiple patches to run. This is required in WinXP as well.
-Powerslide -- Win9x Compatibility Mode required.
-RedJack: Revenge of the Brethren -- Requires Win9x Compatibility mode or the game crashes when you try to save.
-SimTower -- Game does not work as installed. Graphics work with added file. Sound does not work on my system (cannot get the sound driver to function). (patched, files added)
-Star Wars: Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight & Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith (expansion) -- Work fine, but when the game goes to a menu the screen turns black with only the cursor visible. You must alt-tab out and then back into the game to fix the problem. (patched)
Demos/Shareware/Freeware
-Battle Realms demo -- requires Win9x Compatibility Mode.
-International Rally Championship demo -- requires Win9x Compatibility Mode.
-TrackMania Nations (Freeware Game) -- requires several patches to run in Vista; without patches it will not work. With patches it runs fine. (patched)
Works, no changes needed (only listing games released before Vista came out in 2007; all games since are compatible.)

Emulators
All I have tried except for Hu-Go!, which does not work (And DOS ones of course.).
Synopsis: The series follows the exploits of experts mushishi named Ginko who travels across a medieval world and helps people whose lives are disrupted by primordial creatures called mushi. Only a select few can actually see mushi and fewer still know anything about them, which makes them all the more dangerous given their inherent ability to interact with the human and animal world.
First Glance: What's going on here?! A series with no action, no real storyline, episodes with almost zero connection to one another, and everything's all weird and SMART! Okay, just relax, I've seen worse before so there's no reason to panic just yet. I'll give it some time and see what happens.
Impression: This can be a very difficult series to get into by its very nature. Episodes are set all over the place and Ginko is rarely in the same place twice, which also means a new set of supporting characters in each episodes. The mushi themselves are also very bizarre, running the gammot from ones that appear as rainbows and others that get inside your head and feed off of sound and that's just getting started. The episode format can also be a bit off-putting, in that it follows the same format everytime. Ginko comes to a village, someone is having a weird problem, Ginko figures out what's going on and solves the problem. It probably would be a mediocre series if it weren't for the fact that Mushishi does what it does incredibly well and in every way.
The characters and well-designed and unique, the music is suitable surreal and calming, the animation is muted but pleasant to look at, and Ginko is a likable main character, but the area where the show really shines is in it's art design. From misty mountains to lonely, seaside villages, every locale is breathtakingly crafted and all those weird little mushi are given their own unique designs that could have been ripped straight from Hayao Miyazaki's sketchbooks.
Conclusion: Mushishi is a series that requires some amount of patience to really get into, but one you're there the rewards are more than sufficient.
Score: 5/5
Specs: 26 episodes across six DVDs, the last of which is still a month or so away.
Synopsis: Original Dirty Pair involves the original, duh, pursuits of Yuri and Kei, the World Welfare and Works Association's "top" agents as they travel from world to world fighting various sorts of crime and generally causing trouble for anyone that happenes to be in the area...or on the same world. One might be prone to wondering how they happen to retain their jobs given the propensity of destruction to follow in their wake, but just repeat to yourself that it's just a show and go find somewhere to.
First Glance: It's from the 80's and, as such, there are certain expectations that go along with this. Number one is that the animation is going to be nowhere the quality we currently enjoy. Number two is that there will be lots of blatantly 80's music everywhere. And number three the action is going to involve lots of explosions and bullets. Does Original Dirty Pair deliver in this regard? Yes. Yes it does.
Impression: Original Dirty Pair is an action series involving to girls, aged 19 for whatever reason, who fight crime in a future time. Plus it features all the cool things about the science fiction from the 80's. So it's really hard to find with it.
The series and movies feature equal parts comedy and action, often at the same time, which makes for very dull moments. It's spare in the way of actual character development or intruiging storylines, which might put off some who are looking for a deeper experience. While there's certainly a very large place in my heart for the series that feature the latter, there's no need to overlook the genuinely good and entertaing series/movies that just set out to keep you occupied for half and hour or so with large explosions, flying bullets, and gun-weilding 19-year-old girls who wear revealing clothes most of the time; all of which OPD does very well and in large quantities.
Conclusion: It's 80's action. If you don't expect to be intellectually stimulated on some level, you'll end up being entertained for approximately 400 minutes.
Score:/
Specs: Original Dirty Pair was released from 1985 through 1987 and consisted of 10 episodes and 3 movies that clock in at 25 minutes and 50 minutes each, respectively. The series is readily available from any online DVD store and the movies can be found used on Amazon for less than $10 each.

First off, it's a lightgun game. Everyone knows that, I assume. But, it's got a ton of content. Just the train incident [RE0] took me about an hour to complete and that's just a small part of the game.
There's several different weapons you can get throughout the game from shotguns to grenade launchers. You get extra ammo by finding more of the weapons in the level, usually by shooting different objects like vases and crates. You can also upgrade the weapons using credits you gain based on how well you complete each level. Weapons switching is done in realtime and by pressing the a button you can bring up your knife for close-range melee attacks.
Graphics aren't spectular, but they're good enough. The music, when it shows up, is really great and fits the mood. And, most importantly, it's just fun to play.
In all, it could be better, but it's worth owning, especially if you have someone to play it with.
Now that was the goriest sickess musical I have ever scene; Cannibalism and way to much throat slitting and the thing that sickened my stomach the most was all that god damn singing!
After losing ass on PS3 they're headed back to Nintendo to make an original IP. This *also* means that we could see Wii updates to the Rogue games and of course, graphical pushes.
This new IP, I am assume at you, could be a Star Wars game. But I predict will be a shooter of some type. there's a strong possibility that it's the Pilot Wings sequel they promised last year.
All I'm waiting for now is to hear that Silicon Knights is returning. :D
