Okay, so I'm about to buy some used games from eBay.
These games are Aliens versus Predator 2, the NOLF series, Kiss: Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child (Phew, that's one mouthful) and American Mcgee's Alice.

Here's the deal. It would be such a waste of money if none of these games worked on Windows 7.
Do anyone here have any or all of these games and Windows 7 and know if they'll work or not?

EDIT: Typos and spellings

NOLF 1 works on Win 7 but the original release needs a bit of tinkering on 64-bit because the installer is only 16-bit and won't work.

1. Copy \GAME\ folder from CD 1 to HDD. Rename, e.g. \NOLF\.
2. Copy "NOLF.REZ" from \Data\ (on CD 1) to \NOLF\ on HDD.
3. Copy "NOLF2.REZ" and "NOLFDLL.REZ" (both on CD 2) from \Data\ to \NOLF\ on HDD.
4. Copy "NOLF.exe" and "Lithtech.exe" from language folder of choice (e.g. \NOLF\German) to \NOLF\ (e.g. correct path: /NOLF/NOLF.exe)
5. Insert CD 1 and double click "NOLF.exe" to play

This version of NOLF runs out of the box on my 64-bit Windows 7.

Depends on the version. My own runs fine without any problem.

Amended, thanks.
I find you can usually do a search of the game + Win7 and it will lead you any issues, often fixes. If you really want to be sure.

I've got a bunch of games installed from disk from around the same time they usually just work fine. Mostly pretty simple 3d engines then, I guess you've got to watch the installers, Alice is running on Quake 3 I think.
