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:
“A favorite of outdoor alcoholics, connoisseurs and Fundamentalists, these pills turn water into wine. In 10 minutes the most fetid swamp scum in the forest can become modest red, elusive and light on first taste, yet playful—one might say a trifle impudent—on the afterbite. Saves pack space by eliminating need for bulky corkscrew, decanter and bottles. Store pills on their sides in a cool dark place.”
—Alfred Gingold, U.S. humorist. Items From Our Catalogue, “Wine Pills,” Avon Books (1982)
“The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam;
The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
