Been trying to play Alpha Centauri on my win xp but install setup just stall and
doesn't do anything. Also Attempted to install several different games from same
period (1998-2000) and they don't work either. Tried to set Compatibility
Properties manually to win 95-98-2000 but none of these setting works. The game
websites/forums didn't seem to have any solution that I could find.
So can anyone help me install older games (circa 98-00) such as Alpha Centauri,
Imperium Galaactica II & Independence War 1?
Thanks.

Thanks for your quick reply. However, websites you directed are for help with
running the game. I need some help with the installation. Thanks again.
 
try dosbox in Google, see if that works

For myself IG2 said the install failed but it worked. It would not run
though until I set the virtual memory to 512mb. I originally found it on a
Spanish site but just googling found it here too:

I have the other two games you mentioned AC never gave me any problems
except for some graphic glitches.

I War I couldn't get to work but I didn't put a lot of effort into it.

Good luck.
