The thing about the games here at Abandonia, is that they are DOS-games, and DOS-games are not meant to be run under xp. You will probably need Dos-Box or something similar, and run the games through that program. Dos-box is downloadable for free here at Abandonia. Please read the Dos-box FAQ. There's also a lot of topics here in the forum about running different games in Dos-box.

Use DosBox. Or VDMSound. Whichever works better on your system.
You can get them from our programs page.
Before you start complaining about being unable to use them, read the godforsaken readme files and appropriate FAQ's in Troubleshooting and Troubleshooting Archive forums.
