    so i used alcohol 52 to create images for each of the three simpsons hit and run discs and successfully installed it on my eee pc 1000h. when i mount the first disc image and run the game from the start menu, i see an hourglass for a few seconds, but when that goes away the game never runs. nothing ever shows up in task manager. suggestions?

    maybe because an Asus EEE PC isn't designed for gaming...?

    Where did you obtain your images and license for Simpsons Hit and Run?

    I doubt an EEE PC can run that kind of game.

    This game should be on Steam or GOG - its so under rated.

    Probably a stretch to get it running on GMA 950 though.

    I'm just baffled that anyone would WANT to play games on one of those things... tiny screens with keyboards that are well sized for 3 year olds would make playing such a discomfort that it wasn't worth the effort, I'd have thought.
