Yes, it installed in compatibility mode, and it started without any corruption of the initialization screens. It ran very...

Ultimate Extras.. Part 2

After a bad day..

.. essentially any day which ends with the letters ‘….day’, what better than to fire up Halo in a trainer and just shoot everything to pieces.
