Virtual Box 3.0 and Gaming

[RealG187]

All my friends I goto school with that are on my forum play a game called Atlantica Online and I feel left out. One even said they'll go on my forums more if I go on the game. But I refuse to run Windows unless it's in a VM.

I have Virtual Box 3.0 can I play this game?

I tried once but I was using Server 2003 and not XP (I just had the ISO handy) so could installing XP work, or are 2003 and XP very similar in that sense?

Try on Gaming sub-forum.

I have had moderate success with gaming on vbox3. The thing to remember is that it will not use your nvidia/ati drivers - vbox uses it's own virtual graphics card that is limited to 128mb ram.

I couldn't say how your game would respond. That said, the website suggests that it is a free game - It certainly can't hurt to try it. Also, maybe you can get it going through Wine - The last time anyone posted results at WineHQ was April last year, so that has to be worth a shot too.

I have an Intel Graphics card on my laptop. My friend looked it up and it should work.

I have tried Wine, VMWare, and Virtual Box 3 all with no luck.

Last I tried it ran slow and the graphics on the login screen appeared funny.

And yes it's a free game (I think there are things you can buy, which I think paying real money for game money is just stupid!)
