I managed to get the first one to run on Windows 8. I love it, haven't played it in a long time. The 2nd one is widely hated due to the cut content but it does have better features than the first one; you can influence your party members to become dark side or light side.
Cool. I'm glad you got the 1st one to work on Windows. You always feel like you beat the odds when you figure out a way to run a game on a machine previously thought 2 be incompatiable. Machine vs machine & man won. Woo Hoo!
