Jack in The Dark plus the second and third Alone in The Dark games are included, but they have no Dosbox icons, and their install files don't work on Windows 7 64 bit.

This kind of pisses me off because I can't think of one PC gamer that uses anything except 64 bit Windows.

If all else fails, I'll just bring my ShuttleX from the shed (it has XP installed) but I kind of feel cheated because they clearly stated that not only will it run on Windows 7 (and they didn't explicitly state 32 bit only) but Windows 8. If you're going to make it compatible with Windows 8, why the hell won't you make it compatible with Win7 64 bit? It literally doesn't make any sense.

Is there some magical thing I'm supposed to do? I don't know any code or programming. I just play video games!

are you running the main installer? if so then that is your problem since Alone 2 and 3 are not included in the main installer they are in the extras.

don't beat yourself up over it, I made the same mistake myself when I first got the pack since most of the other releases here that have more than one game included have them usually all packed in together in the main installer and not just one game and the others put in the extras. So yeah it's an easy mistake to make

Wait, what's the main installer? How do you activate it?

the main installer is what you get when you click the big download button that pops up when you click on the game box this only has Alone 1 2 and 3 can be found in the extras section just like the dos version of Wizardry 7 is for the Wiz 6+7 bundle.
