The following game will work with Windows Vista by using Glidos or DosBox:

  • Windows Vista does not supports real mode DOS.
  • Running 16-bit applications like the original Tomb Raider is technically impossible on 64-bit versions of Windows. You will have to use Glidos or DosBox.

The following games will work with Windows Vista by either using the compatibility mode and/or an unofficial patch.

Tomb Raider II through Chronicles will for the most part run at once or with the "Windows 98/ME" compatibility mode enabled.
