Tripredacus Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Games for Windows 8 are Metro style apps from what I understand. Do you specifically mean those, or games from previous versions of Windows which is described in that link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGRiM Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I tried this and it sort of worked, not the best solution though http://www.heroturko.me/softwares/2802674-microsoft-games-patcher-v12-use-microsoft-games-from-windows-7-in-windows-8.html plus you will need to have Windows 7 files and if you don't have those then this will not be any good to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

submix8c Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Be aware most of these "adaptations" are from "Beta" and require a special file PLUS the games have been "patched".This subject has already been discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
