How can I make Skip98 work on a laptop with Windows 7?

My Mother in law was playing to an old freeware Skip-bo game on her Windows XP computer, it's called Skip98. You could still find it by goggling it, but the original site is down. She bought a new Laptop, it came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and I cannot get this old game working on it, I get corrupted graphics.

Downloading windows version of steam games on a mac to copy over to a pc

I am sharing an internet connection with a few roommates and have a data cap. I would love to be able to use my MacBook to download games onto it, create Steam backups and install them on Windows. I have crossover, but Steam refuses to render the library pages and instead shows me a black screen. And the overall experience of using Steam in small mode is terrible. I can't uninstall installed games, adjust download queue order, and much more. Question from user Blaine at stackexchange. Answer: You have two options:. Game File . . . [More]

In Tears of the Kingdom, can you activate only certain devices attached to a vehicle?

In TOTK, I was doing the quest where you have to get the fella and his cart out of the hole. I attached the balloons and flame emitters to the cart, then added a fan. When I activated them, they all turned on at once, which meant the cart hadn’t gained enough height before the fan pushed it into the side of the hole. Is there a way I could have only activated the flame emitters first, and then the fan once it was at the desired height? Question from user Darren at gaming.stackexchange.com.

Where can I find a steering stick in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?

I'm looking for a steering stick so I can save a hoverbike design to Autobuild. However, I haven't found any and don't know where I would encounter one. To be clear, I'm looking for an easily accessible steering stick just lying around. I don't need it as a zonai capsule, I just need 1 to build the bike for the first time. Question from user User 23415 at gaming.stackexchange.com.

Are Distances in the Zelda Tears Depths Smaller than on the Overworld?

I have nothing to prove it but it does feel like distances in the depths, like between 2 lightroots, are smaller than if I was to walk between the 2 associated shrines on the overworld. Is there a thing like the Nether in Minecraft, where distances in this underworld are a fraction of the overworld? And if so, what is that fraction?

In the Witcher 3, Will I always get the warning that quests may fail?

Before traveling to the Isle of Mists you get a warning specifying that some quest may fail if you go past this point. The first time I was about to cross this point I double checked that I had completed all the quests listed on the Wiki. After crossing I got a quest failed notification for Berengar's Blade (I had already discovered the quest before crossing). I loaded up an old save and completed the Berengar's Blade quest, and crossed again. I haven't gotten any quest failed notifications after crossing but I did get the war . . . [More]
