Man, I loved Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2! The second one is impossible to get to run properly though, I think I had to use some dark voodoo and third party modifications to get it to work way back when I got it. The copy of it I have installed on my main computer right now crashes.
It's a real shame that it's such a goddamned pain to get working. People have made their own patches, cracked the exe, downloaded obscure microsoft compatability programs, used WIN98 virtual machines, used their own audio dll's, etc etc.
Most of the time, the problem is the Sound Card. Some of them are just not compatible, and you get audio glitches that eventually crash the game. Apparently this is mostly to do with the QSound drivers used. having -nosound on fixes this, but then why bother playing? Otherwise hardware accelleration is the culprit, but you can improve your graphics despite turning it off by using command line options.
It's nice if you have several computers, because while it may not work on one, it may work on another. Surprisingly, my Vista laptop made it work almosty instanty, with the compatability modes on anyway.
It's too bad because DKII it really does improve upon the first dungeon keeper a lot. And that's saying something.
If you're looking for fixes, this is pretty much the place to go:

Funnily enough I installed it a short while ago, unfortunately unsuccessful on my Vista laptop, but for XP I've managed to get it to work 99% of the time.
But in anycase to fix it I used http://forum.keeperklan.com/19-DK2-Troubleshooting , speciffically the READ THIS topic.
As for games I'm playing, I guess DKII whenever I want to use that PC. And I also restarted Dragon Quest VIII, getting rid of my 17 or so hours of playtime, for no good reason. Forgot that Geyser is irritating as heck, especially with the distant lack of revival items or cash and only having Hero and Yang at tht point in the game... taking 17 damage a time with only 50-ish HP really damn sucks...

since when is 'funnily' a word
Since I dunno. It seems to work and I use it a fair amount so meh, whatever.
Need to add Arkham Asylum, for Completion and Hard Mode purposes.
And Tales of Innocence (With an English patch), which seems quite capable of kicking my ass quite a bit, but the style and gambit-style system seem to work well, though telling them to restore using gummies tends to eat through the 15-max (On first run) pile...

The Ju-on game for the Wii. It's alright. Don't like that the only challenge is not running out of batteries.

I saw it and wanted to, but then I watched some youtube reviews of it and didn't look very scary. I really wanna play Cryostasis because it looks terrifying but my computer can't handle it. :C

Yeah fuck Cryostasis man, it was lagging too much for me to fully enjoy the amazing environment.
Seems Tales of Innocence has a difficulty spike in it where everything starts taking alot longer than you'd expect to kill on normal, plus they start hitting 40-50 damage per hit when you have only ~600 HP at that point. Makes surviving the rather long dungeons a pain, thank god they're touch encounters not completely random ones.

Disgaea DS. So close to the last boss.
(Soon) Lost in Blue 2. I really want to try it.
(Soon) Cross Edge. See LIB2
Um...Would RPG Maker XP count as a video game?
