Steam + WinXP

Unread post by MelonicOverlord »

I get there's some way to run an old Steam build, but it seems kinda complicated. Is there a way I can move the Steam game directory over to XP from another machine and just run it like that, or somthing along those lines. I have Tomb Raider 1 on Steam but I don't want to go directly to Tomb Raider 2 (that's the one I have the disk for)

Also does anyone know of good places to bulk buy old XP games? Am currently enjoying Die Hard Nakotomi Plaza so like games a bit like that would be cool.

'job lot' tends to be a good search term, people bringing in untested things, you might get a bunch of hidden gems.
