Has anyone had any luck getting Games for Win8 without going to the Micorsoft Windows Store?
Has anyone been successful with this?

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?

I tried this and it sort of worked, not the best solution though http://www.heroturko...-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

Oops! above link is Dead now, but you can just use BitChe and do search for "Games Windows 8" then download the .msi of X86-X64!

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.

True, some are that way but the one I am using does not require any extra files and the MS Games are all Genuine..

My customers are happy now as they can play there games like before..
