Kruiz 136 Posted July 6, 2007 Report Posted July 6, 2007 Does any body else have Poweslide by Ratbag games? It is a fairly old game now, but i found it this morning while decluttering my computer desk. I had completely forgotten about it, but rember it being a very enkoyable game to play. I tried to install it and play, but it just says it cannot be run on Windows NT. Not sure what it means by that as I have Windows XP, but does anyone else have it? and is there a way to get it to play on XP? Cheers Kruiz
demonstone Posted July 6, 2007 Report Posted July 6, 2007 try looking on the internet for the latest game patch for it then goto poweslide game folder in progames directory, locate the .exe file for the game, right click goto properties, and change the compatability mode to wich ever suits windblows 95, 98/ME, NT 4 or 2000, it works for a lot of older games but you still might not get it to run properly
Kruiz 136 Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) I have looked for patches and have found and downloaded patch v1.04 but it needs v1.01 first and i cant find it anywhere. There are very few websites for this game anymore and I have discovered that Ratbag games was closed in 2005. P.S I tried the compatibilty thing but its says the same thing.

martin379 Posted July 6, 2007 Report Posted July 6, 2007 Pitty about Ratbag closing in 2005, they made some great games(Stockcar Speedway, '02 Penzoil Sprintcars etc..) but I guess they just didn't appeal to enough people.

Guest Scrapman53 Posted July 6, 2007 Report Posted July 6, 2007 Windows XP uses the NT file system. That's why the game recognises it as NT.
