BrandeX: Wow, so much puttering.

Skip all the stuff above.

The installers for modern versions of Windows can be downloaded here:

DaCostaBR: Could be, and I considered I might very well be telling him something he already knows, but better to make sure his problem isn't with the iso format first before delving deeper.

l0rdtr3k: I tried mounting it the iso files(since Win10 already has a mount feature) but the installer doesn't appear and when it does,it crashes before I do anything.
Maybe it's because of my OS...
I had Win10 when messing with these. I wanted Starsiege. I actually ran it, but only once. After that, it crashed every time.

These guys need to just give them over to GOG. We want to play them!

Try the installer.
Starsiege - This updated installer can rip and compress Starsiege's Redbook CD-Audio tracks for CD-less music during game play. For version 1.0.0.0. Includes Vista/Win7 fixes. Patches game to version 1.0.0.4 Installs entire game to the hard drive for CD-less play.

Tribes 2 with the last patch should work on modern windows.

There's also this website that lets you go online with Tribes 2.

Was able to install ES2 but when I launch it says "Not enough virtual memory".

Yes with the Sierra installer authough is somewhat slow.

That's strange. Is it one of those that run DOSBox automatically like with GoG games? Maybe you could try changing the processing speed on DOSBox.

Which value should I change? Maybe I should put on max...

Well Earthsiege`s requirements are of a 33 Mhz CPU I think. So from the DOSBox prompt you could use the command cycles=36000 to set it to 36 Mhz. Or just press Ctrl+F12 to increase the cpu by .5 Mhz until it starts working well.

Thanks. I was actually looking at that last night. I switched to Linux shortly after trying Starsiege and apparently it works near-flawlessly with Wine with that installer. A shame I didn't see that earlier! Thanks!

No problem!

OP's post made me happy and sad at the same time.

I can finally and legally get to play Tribes: Vengeance but it's not available here as a commercial product easy to install and enjoy, fully compatible for variety of OS'.
