Macromedia Shockwave

[Zelest]

I'm in a bit of a pickle and wanted to see if anyone knows how to straighten it out (or whatever you do with pickles).

I found an old game CD with a bunch of old Macromedia Shockwave games. When trying to start the games up, I get the error message "Couldn't find Shockwave 8.5, click yes to go to a download page". I get sent to Adobe's homepage and they tell me to download and install Shockwave 12. Which I already got installed, by the way. Reinstall, restart, retry, same fault. Do anyone know how to play those good old macromedia games? After all, they're one of the best pasts of the late 90s, early 00s =D

I'm on Windows 7, by the way.

Well, here's 9.0 if that helps: http://www.oldversion.com/windows/adobe-shockwave-9-0-0-434

Old versions, direct from the source, including 8.5

Oooh, I'll be darned. They actually work. Thank you both! *off to play odd bootleg chinese games from 2001*

Eat them, normally.

I guess my memory of shockwave stuff back then was a little different.
