Cossacks Anthology

Simply doesn't work on Modern OS

I really do like this game. And this is the same version I played on years ago on an older computer with an older OS (probably Windows 7). But at Windows 10, this game just doesn't seem to want to work anymore. Some people in the forums have mouse problems, others have speed issues, others have outright crashes or errors. I had the issue where everything was fine until I started the game and the screen froze and none of the units moved (my mouse could still move oddly enough). After spending the last three hours going through the forums and trying every single bootleg remedy out there, I'm throwing in the towel. GoG usually does a good job of making sure the games they release function properly on modern Operating Systems, but it seems this collection of games is the exception (I've heard similiar complaints about American Conquest as well.) There is a chance that the games will work for you and you'll dodge the miriad of problems that could await you. But you'll also be playing Russian Roullete with your debit card. I'd recommend not taking the risk of wasting your money and buying Age of Empires 2 instead. Since that has always worked with modern computers.
