does the newest version accept the old games?

It certainly does. however, beware. i had my son's replaced three times through Vtech and my daughter's twice. They do freeze, make seriously annoying squeeling sounds, and mess up lots. It was in every single device I got.

Yes, being able to play older games was one of my reasons for this purchase. It comes in a Microsoft package and I have had no problems since installing. Not all old game discs will play however. There are upgrades for many of them. Do some online research to find out if your favorite games have the needed upgrade available. Hope this helps.

Please elaborate your question. Matter how so? I've been playing the US versions for over a decade with no problem

I don' know. Do not play games on my computer but it will install older programs.

No ,but you can load any of the football games from Genises, SNES, NES and PSX. The games it comes with are filler and junk. The other guy did not understand how to use this game system, it works great. But, it's an Emulator not a stand alone console.

That would probably depend more on Windows 8 backward compatibility than this specific computer. I have one on the way and will see if I can play an older game on it and let you know. I know that my husband and I have enjoyed games from the pre-XP days on Windows 7 but 8 is such a departure that it is hard to say. Different games may also react differently. I'll probably be able to answer your question late next week if no one else does before then. :)

Only used it a couple times. It's not compatible with all my games. And that was over 4 years ago

Yes they do! As they come out with new game the old skylanders still work even with the new game. The new one just don't work with the old games. Example you can't use a swapforce with the giants game but you can use and skylander on the swapforce game. Hope that helps.

Dear Margie, You have to uninstall old version of the game manually, then you will be able to update the game without any problems. Thank you!

I don't know. Usually the older software will work on newer Windows. If it says it will work on Windows on the spec, you'll PROBABLY be OK. It's a fun game! Good luck!

It should. The game itself is downloaded on to the computer and stores the data there, so it should be compatible on anything.

The firmware is to old to support any games anymore. As the games/apps do updates the firmware isn't able to support them.

I would try emailing Amazon to find out. I do not know, since I have 7. I love the game!

Nope this is the 1.0 of the game you need to buy version 2.0 starter kit, however all the older characters will work with the 2.0 version.

They need to have the latest portal and the latest disks to use the latest characters. Older characters will work on any newer version.

Most play fine on 8.1. I've had trouble with the older games like the original Command and Conquer. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I can't help you. This was a gift for my daughter. I can tell you, she has not complained and she wanted the old version.
