Don't give EA your money over this. Go pirate these games.

I want it but not for $30 CAD. Maybe if it goes on sale for 50-60% off. Apparently they didn't scale up the UI so all the icons are still itty bitty. Laziest port ever 😑

Still have my CD copy, but wonder if I can download the patches still... Maybe time to dust it off, just to find it has suffered rot... 😭

Does anyone know how to make these run on newer hardware.

Edit:

My wife has original disks and can't get then to work on Windows 10
