Will these two games run on Win 7 64 bit?
See title. Thanks in advance.

I doubt it works but I'd also like to know about Windows 10.

I went ahead about bought them when they were on sale. Having played Betrayal at Kronder when it came out (yes, I'm an old gamer) I knew what to expect . I had no idea bout Betrayal in Antara other than it looked very similar in interface to Krondor.

For win 7 users: (Might apply to win 10 too, not sure) you can usually run krondor from the launch menu. Some issues with sound, like echoes, I suspect have something to do with multiple processors, that was the main problem with getting Knights of the Old Republic 2 to run as well.

To run Antara (which crashes from the launcher) navigate to the directory the game is in. In my case it is C:\valve\steam\steamapps\common\betrayal collection\betrayal in Antara
-for most of you it will be the same path minus the Valve directory at the beginning, so start in C:\steam go to betrayal collection then betrayal in Antara.

Select the application (.exe) called Antara.exe and right click. Select compatibility (set this to win XP, SP2) and select "Run as Administator". Apply, OK.

Create a shortcut to this file on your desktop. (drag the now edited file to your desktop and select, create shortcut here). Double click to play.

I hope this helps someone!

Well I'm on Windows 7 for only about another week or two and then 10 so I think I will wait until I hear more from someone who has the newer OS.

Oh nevermind I just saw in a review that Windows 10 does work lol.
I still have my original Antara discs but they're getting beat up so I was thinking about this. Not sure if they've done any patching but Antara is prone to video skip with a fragmented hard drive and crashes when using the original discs and patches. SquirttheCat may have some additional patches available that aren't in the release.

Both games are quite fun. Skyelander, I'm assuming Krondor is a doxbox release? I still have it from when Sierra offered it for free a while back.
