American McGee's Alice CD help

[Alexis Wasilla]

I tried to get some help on the old Alice: Madness Returns community forum but I didn't get any help (as of recent) but I currently have the original CD and installed the game but am unable to start the game normally, I've seen other people looking for help with the game say they used a "NoCD crack" but the only site I've found as of yet is like, mega sketchy as it seems to be ancient as hell. And yes I'm on windows 10.
Aside from that has anyone else played The Original American McGee's Alice?

I did. And I may have gotten that fix. But it is so long ago that I can't remember. Sorry.
I think there is/was a way to buy madness returns and also get the original.

Actually there was some kind of security issue I had to do to its age. Uh...

You will still need the original CDs, as disc 1 is required to play the game once you follow those steps which I'm assuming are for Windows 10. there is a game security issue that prevents the game from properly installing in the correct directories.

That wasn't the issue I had, as I was installing it on a computer with no CD drive and had to use an external drive, and again there was some kind of security issue. But I bought the game at initial release, and really wanted to play it more.

Darn pesky older games.

And avoid shady sites

Look like it is public domain now:

Good find then.

I really wish he'd have released his wizard of Oz game.

But American McGee tends to have an incredibly dark sense of storytelling it would have been a lot of incredibly creepy mental and physical abuse of a teenager... Again...

I kind of wish I had never actually beating those two games... One or the other, sure.

Both of them? That is dark

I have the second one. Was a freebie when Origin got started. But I absolutely s@k at jumping in games. Something wrong with my brain wiring? I just can not get the timing right. I gave up on it after a while. Sigh.

3D platforming is really tricky to get done well and American McGee's Alice games are very intense platforming. I absolutely was horrible at the first game. the second game was actually better for me because I was playing it on the 360, and the controller support wasn't as wonky as it is on the PC version.

Or at least that was what I heard. except for The Evil that is Skyrim I try not to buy too many copies of the same game

i only read OP. so u can play old american mcgee's alice on windows xp but when i tried it on win 7, i had visual problem - the health and mana bars were in middle of screen instead of edges. maybe there's patch 2 fix that, idk. i'm sure it would only get worse 4 win 10. but there's a remastered version of that game for year 2011 which can be ran through alice madness returns. the problem is that steam don't sell madness returns anymore i think - so u go 2 EA webside, u enter ur CD key like i did for madness returns, and u do stuff from there ok? ok.. :-/
