Microsoft Entertainment Pack On Windows XP and Later
All of the games from Microsoft Entertainment Pack work on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8, however this only applies to the 32-bit versions. The NTVDM allows 16 bit applications to execute in 32 bit versions of windows. In the 64-bit versions of those OS's the 32 bit applications are being ran in a compatibility layer in the kernel, and the 16 bit layer would need rewraped, therefore Microsoft removed the feature.

Famous quotes containing the words pack and/or windows:
“You’re nothing but a pack of cards!”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“I came on a great house in the middle of the night
Its open lighted doorway and its windows all alight,
And all my friends were there and made me welcome too;
But I woke in an old ruin that the winds howled through;
And when I pay attention I must out and walk
Among the dogs and horses that understand my talk.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
