    Windows 10 (and 8) removed the games such as Solitaire and Chess that were included with Windows 7. I have created an installer that brings these games back. I have tested the installer and games in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 64-bit. The installer is around 72MB in size and the completed install is 150MB. Unfortunately, I have not had the chance to test them in a 32-bit Windows environment.

    Because I have less then 20 posts on the forums, I am unable to post photos or links, so at the moment I am just after interest. If people are interested in the idea I might post the installer online for people to test.

    See if you can get the Windows XP INTERNET games running in Windows 10 such as Reversi, etc.

    If useful to anyone, a Romanian blogspot page has a file containing registry keys for Windows 7 and Vista:
    Code:
    cafeauaneagra.blogspot.ro/2012/04/reversi-strategia-instalarii-pe-windows.html
    I have tried earlier on 8 and 10 to find the reg keys missing or whatever prevents it running using Autoruns.
    I have failed though, so if someone finds a solution that would be most useful ^^.

    See my post if you need the most basic info about MSN Zone Games to start with where i have left of.
