Finally....

Mafia on GOG

OK, this version is missing the original music score. However, on the forum at GOG it explains how to get it back.

$18.69 CAD is too much IMO.

Yeah, little pricey. I've wanted it for a long time though.

I still have the disks for the for the original release. There were 2 or 3 as I remember. I wonder if they would install and work on Win 10. I know they did on Vista which means they probably also worked on Win 7. Heck the music was one of the best parts of the game. They probably lost the rights to the Jean "Django" Reinhardt jazz guitar stuff.


Artillery adds dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Works great on Windows 10. The fix for the music in OP works, and it's very easy to do.

I tried installing my original copy the other day. It installed like champ even after 15 years but would not run. I think a windows update to Windows 7 prevented some older games from working. I uninstalled that update and want to try to install the game again to see if that was it. Either way I'm glad it made its way to GOG though that does seem to be pretty pricey. Awesome game though so its definitely worth it if you don't own it or haven't' played it. Seems like its only natural now for Vietcong to be around the corner though it works still on Windows 7. One day and its already happening these older games probably won't run at all on new machines so I'm thankful GOG is acquiring them!

Try installing on a different drive than your OS, or at least not under the "Programs" directory, if you didn't do that already. You may have already tried running as admin and experimented with compatibility modes, but sometimes those things can help.

Thanks for the suggestions RK, I tried all those things already but they didn't help. However I haven't tried since uninstalling that particular windows update so will see how that goes. I usually install all my games under my own directory and not in Program Files or Program Files(x86). I should actually go try to start Vietcong because I had that installed and running last year, haven't touched it in many months so if it no longer starts, it probably was indeed the Microsoft update that boogered something up. That's one thing I don't like about automatic updates and being connected online because something like this comes along and actually removes functionality from your pc and you don't even know it at the time. nope
