Further inquiry led me to find that the game itself is apparently compatible, but just the installer isn't. I decided, then, to use XP mode to virtualize it, and the install succeeded, only to be stopped by a cruel irony since the game requires a '3D accelerator,' and virtual PC can't virtualize GPUs, I couldn't run a 12-year-old game on two 8800 GTs. Problem is, I upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit since I last played, and the installer would just quit out on me and fail on any attempt. I got that game when I first got a PC, and like to hop back on every once in a while to play through it.
So, I decided to break out my copy of Rogue Squadron 3D again, for nostalgia's sake.
