About old games
The games you mentioned don’t use advanced DRM beyond checking the CD/DVD label. The pirated version worries me because I no longer trust piracy as a selfless Robin Hood figure. To verify or rule out an issue, we should compare with a genuine retail copy. Also, it might be worth noting that the app seems to act differently on newer Windows versions than it was originally designed for. I own an older game I enjoy playing occasionally; it crashes if I try to maximize the window unless I adjust it in a tricky way.
Regarding the pirate topic... I don't really care about their beliefs, but I'm short on money for games. I often prefer pirated versions, even after buying them, since some require an internet connection—even for single-player—and I don’t always have access. Plus, it’s confusing why they need the internet at all. Thanks for sharing!
