I wasn't sure if this was the right section, but I was pretty sure it was.

I'm attempting to run Theme Park Inc., a game made by EA and Bullfrog in 2001. Obviously it was not designed to run on anything newer than Windows 98/2000.

Likewise, the game will not run. It attempts to run, but the only thing that manifests is a dark purple rectangle toward the left of the screen, and some sort of roller coaster sound effect. Then it crashes with the error "Game.exe has stopped working". I have tried all compatibility settings to no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I apologise for double posting. My old laptop has Windows 8 Consumer Preview on it, and upon testing it on there I did get an extra error, "Engine failed to initialize", and then "Game.exe has stopped working." This was on every compatibility level.

I also tested it on XP, for which it worked for many years ago, and that too resulted in "Engine failed to initialize."
