   Fuck these polish niggers, I bought Empire Earth 1 for $6 and it crashes my system, text is so small it's invisible, and the camera is so close to the ground that there's no way I can play this clastrophobic shit if I wanted to.
   
   I put in a support ticket bc if they "Can't get it working" then I get my money back.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

   Maybe you have to change the settings. Windows 10 is trash for older games it doesn't even run Fallout 3.

   Right click on the game's main executable, select Properties, and go to "Compatibility" and then select "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows98". Press OK.
   
   Open 3D-Analyze.
   
   1. Browse to and select the games executable from its root directory.
   2. Under "Hardware Limits", select "Emulate Hardware TnL Caps"
   3. Press "Run"

   The game will start and all graphics and text will appear normally.

   If you want to play it properly, simply follow my instructions.

   They should refund you the money no problem.
   
   If not threaten to do a credit card chargeback and they will - the fee for dealing with one of those, even if you win, is around $30.
   
   CC companies are the high level jedis.

    It's not the game at fault.
