Breja: But I'm happy to report season 11 is surprisingly good. Not "old X-Files at it's best" good, but still enough to make me really glad they brought the show back, even if it took them a while to get back on track.
It's better than 10 - though I still don't care for all the "nostalgic" references. I would've been fine with a whole new show and cast built around the same concept (keeping the 'quality' of the older seasons - and I know that's subjective).

Surprisingly, there are quite a lot of decent tv shows nowadays. I say "Surprisingly" because I don't care for all those - created by the marketing department - movies Hollywood has been spewing out the last 10 years. The X-Files feels a bit like those...

NarakuITA: Hi everyone, I would have a problem on my windows 10. I can not install this fabulous game on my PC. When I start the installation CD and click on install, nothing happens. I tried to set up the installation with compatibility, nothing. Does anyone have a solition?
These old FMV titles can be a hassle to get running on any modern environment, not only because of architecture, but because they can use video codecs not supported by the modern OS's.

That said, one way to get X-Files running is to make a Windows 95/98 install under DosBox, as this actually works much better than making a Windows 95/98 install under any modern virtualization platform, as they aren't really made gaming in mind. Not that the Windows support of DosBox is perfect, far from it, but that is, as I've found out, far more viable alternative in some cases.

JinseiNGC224: Well, it may not be the best game, but the wishlist has over 500 votes. That says something enough that the game is worth a re-release, especially since some of the classic titles here are already very, very niche, with some better than others. I'd still play it if they re-released it on GOG.
Fun fact. Just as I promised I wanted to vote for the game ... imagine my surprise when I noticed that I already did. Anyways it's voted for.

teceem: Corrected that for you. ;-D

Breja: 10 was bad, but I still think 9 was the absolute rock bottom for X-Files. The terrible finale, the way they killed off the Lone Gunmen, just the all-round suckiness of Monica Reyes... that season hurt. Still, it's like picking between being kicked in the butt and or in the nuts.

But I'm happy to report season 11 is surprisingly good. Not "old X-Files at it's best" good, but still enough to make me really glad they brought the show back, even if it took them a while to get back on track.
Agreed!

I disagree. Like said I simply installed the game. The only thing I could not install directly from the game dics was quicktime. Took me 10 minutes to find a working QT version. Would have taken me forever to install another OS inside an emulator. Only some very few games do make problems in win7 and mostly the way to get them to work is quite easy. However several games have been reported to be problematic to get them to run on win10. That's one (but not the only reason) I don't plan to use it.

I couldn't get the installation to run at all, no matter the settings. However, I did find a blog that has a custom installer that works by setting up DOSBox and some other goodies. Note: I can only advocate using this if you have legitimate possession of the CD-version of the game, yada, yada, yada.
