Civ IV: Colonization

Don't remember the color code, sorry, but it runs smooth at lowest settings, and it's playable The only thing is, and i suppose it happens too in civ IV, that the window size (had to run it windowed modifying the .ini) is bigger than my screen, so either i have to move the window around all the time, or maximize and see everything stretched badly. Any way of making the window smaller?
Thanks

Edit: i solved the problem, and it goes for civ IV as well. You need to edit the .ini file setting the resolution in 1310x768, then play, maximize the window, and the deformation of the image is minimal. Works great.

Has anyone got the OS X version of Civ IV to work on the 10v?

i'm not sure if this thread is being updated, but i thought i'd mention that the following also work:

Rollcage (1999)
Rollcage 2 (2000) (aka Death Track Racing in the US)

Both these games run perfectly at the highest settings, are really fun and look pretty good. Racing with guns, my favorite genre.

want to add Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2, there may be sound problems when starting the game and my gamepad had problems getting recognised (the game is unplayable without a gamepad or an external keyboard), but the game runs fluidly, so, i dont know wich color whould be the right

Actually, you can play it without the gamepad, reconfiguring the keys. I've done it and works great, without needing an extra device.

Actually Vice City doesn't run THAT great.. on a stock 10v running Win 7 and GMA Booster, it runs okay (perfectly playable) in the area around the starting hotel but if you venture further into the city it will really start to slow down. Also, once the game slows down for whatever reason (sometimes it can happen if the mission suddenly calls for something to blow up, or a bunch of people to be on the screen at the same time) it will just get worse and worse. Quite a few times I've had to limp back to the save point at 2 - 3fps just so I can save, quit and relaunch.
