As a datapoint for Links 2K3 on new hardware; I just build a desktop i7-12700K Alderlake with Window 11 x64 and Links 2003 and it's playing fine. I don't re-install Links 2003. I copy over my existing files into their appropriate locations and then also import the Links 2003 registration key in rege...

The right...

They were at the time .exes that you could point to a directory and unzip; or just use 7zip or similar to open the .exe as an archive and just drag out wherever you want. Hopefully you'll also avail yoursel...

Got note from Steam that it's on sale for $20 through 4/12.
