Industry Giant 2

Well here a big problem with a old game.

i have like many other a nvidia geforce 6600 graphic card, the game is not compatible with it, it wont run and there no patch for it and jowood will not make a patch since the team that make the game is no longer with them.

the few solution is to buy a old graphic card that work for that game or to buy a old computer like a Pentium 3 and a graphic card that is compatible with the game.

the comfiguration for the game are:

Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP with direct x8.0 Athlon /Pentium 2 350 MHz

64 MB of RAM

Video card 3D with 16 meg of ram

sound card 16 bits

CD ROM 8x

nothing says that your nvidia geforce 6600 is not compatible and there no help to fix that problem.

i don't know if its hard to make a patch for that game.

i cant buy another graphic card just for that game, don't have the money for that.

There is another potential solution that I know of but haven't tried myself.  Virtualization.  As I understand it the virtualization software emulates an entire computer including a relatively low end video card. 

Perhaps someone with experience using virtualization can direct you to the appropriate software.  Unfortunately I don't have the experience to do so myself.  I can suggest checking our VMWare (it is on the free software list).
