There's supposed to be patches to get it to work on Pista/7, but so far none of them have worked for me.
Yes
.......... I dedicated a whole day a couple of months back to trying to get the game to work on my PC. I really wanted to play through it on the PC because I could put in the extra planets and other content that had been cut from the game at launch, and later made as patches to be downloaded (not to mention, if you wanted a specific crystal color, or something else, all you would have to do is enter the cheat, rather that having to hunt them down, or pull of some weird glitch.)
But I have been dreaming of TOR for years, long before they announced it I craved that game. Now that they are making the game, all the sins of the past can be forgiven, as long as this is not going to be Galaxies II
