Is it true that older games won work on newer computers?
This is just one of the computer “myths”. But there are some truths in it. Older games that utilize older DirectX versions will usually create problems. The game will assume you don’t have DirectX installed and automatically install it into your system without prompting you beforehand. If you have a new version of DirectX say version 5 or 6 and the game overwrites it with version 3, all your new games using version 5 won’t work. Even after re-installing the newer version or DirectX, slight problems might still appear.
