Default Colin McRae in win 7

Hi i use to play Colin McRae on PC in the 90's is there any thing as good now to run on an i7 Win7 machine with a microsoft force steering wheel?

Or has anyone got the orginal Colin McRae to run on a new-ish Win 7 machine?

I have Richard burns rally on the first xbox and wrc4 on the 360. Wrc4 is better as its more forgiving. Rb rally is tough.

It's a horrible mobile port though. The reviews were terrible.

Can't say that I've tried it or that I am likely too I just saw it on Steam whilst browsing games the other day. Personally I prefer Richard Burns rally on the PC.

i loved that game when it came out, was a game changer and the replays were amazing at the time. Adrian only one way to find out, i think i tried as i also have the CD, i don't think it works unfortunately, i tried all the compatibility modes. You would probably need to install it in XP mode or via a dedicated XP emulator.
