Does Temujin work under Windows 2000?

[michaeljbrooks 0]

My operating system is Windows 2000 Professional.

I am thinking of buying a used Temujin game which only says it works with Windows 95.

The game is no longer sold but it is described at http://www.southpeak.com/

Does anyone know if this game will work under Windows 2000 Professional?

I browsed the http://www.southpeak.com/ site for a while and found a F.A.Q. that said that Temujin was supported under Windows NT with Service Pack 2 and later.

I sent an electronic message to the Southpeak support center asking about Windows 2000 compatibility, but they may not be too supportive of games they are not selling any more.

At the bottom is my inquiry to the support group at Southpeak.

Above my inquiry is the Southpeak response.

The short answer is that nobody knows whether Temujin will run under Windows 2000.

Your F.A.Q. says Temujin will run under Windows 95/98/Windows NT

(NT users need service pack 2 or later). Will Temujin run under Windows

2000 Professional?

I finally bought a copy of Temujin off ebay and installed it successfully under Windows 2000 Professional.

After I inserted the first CD-ROM the game auto-installed and played fine.

The game auto-installs all files to c:\ drive with no user options, but all the files together only consist of a few kilobytes; much less than one megabyte.

Almost all the game play is done off the six CD-ROM discs supplied with the game.

The game plays like Myst.

I was a little disappointed with the quality of graphics, but they were good for a 1997 game I suppose.

I submitted the successful result to the NT Compatible list at this site.
