# Compatibility

BottleShip targets native Win32 games of roughly **1997–2004** — the DirectDraw / Direct3D
3–9 era. This is a living list of titles that have been brought up and observed running; it is
not exhaustive, and "runs" means different things at different stages (boots to menu vs. fully
playable). Your mileage will vary with the exact build/version you own.

**How to read the table**

- **Status** — `playable` (reaches gameplay and is enjoyable), `boots` (reaches menu / early
  gameplay, rough edges), `in progress` (actively being brought up).
- **GOG ✓** — the title is sold DRM-free on GOG; its offline installer can be dropped
  straight into BottleShip (see [`docs/gog-import.md`](gog-import.md)). Everything else:
  bring your own legally-owned copy.

## Reporting compatibility

If you get a title running (or find a regression), a compatibility report with the exact
edition/version, what worked, and what didn't is valuable. Attach a `report()` snapshot (see
[`docs/harness.md`](harness.md)) for anything that froze, exited, or rendered black — it names
the likely culprit. Please don't attach copyrighted game files.
