Minor

AquaNox

Can't skip intros; unmpak can extract its PAK format but the images are timed TIFs, not actual video files, so probably not possible to disable without understanding of game's scripting

Anvil of Dawn

Can't skip intros; videos are in DFA format which can be decoded but not encoded

Hover!

Music only starts playing after Sound Options has been opened

Might and Magic IX

Higher resolutions break the menus

Wing Commander: Privateer

Forces controller calibration at launch if two controllers are connected

Major

Chessmaster 5500

Sounds and voice features cause crashes if enabled; swapping mss32.dll from other games doesn't fix it.

Darkstone

Major graphics issues on AMD drivers newer than Catalyst 13.1; -sortbyz parameter partially resolves this

Flight Unlimited II

Crashes at launch on Windows 8 and later

Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures

16-bit game; swapping files with Yoda Stories didn't work.

Sea Dogs

Windowed mode has corrupted UI

Tinker

Level editor cannot detect the Games for Windows - LIVE version; I don't have Windows Vista Ultimate Extras to test.
