Congratulations to Cursed Silicon for fixing Chicken Run and within an hour of the initial announcement! Well done. Payment has been sent out, received, and confirmed. The archive is now updated with a fixed copy of Chicken Run. The bounty board has been updated to reflect the change. Cursed Silicon wants to take this moment to share his YouTube channel which is wholeheartedly tailored for retro machine enthusiasts. I'm very, very proud of this community. Keep up the great work!

The Bounty Board - $100 per Fixed Game
Greetings, my fellow XP users! Ever since my testing of The Achilles Archive began, I have done my absolute very best to ensure a fully functioning and as feasibly complete library as humanly possible. In my testing of the archive, there has been a number of games that I have found impossible to get working. Whether or not I: cracked the gamepatched the gameused emulation DLLs or other file drop in solutionsmade no difference. I'm not willing to rule out that it is simply a skill issue on my part. This is why I'm excited to announce the release of the archive's very own bounty board. This list contains, out of the 1,300 or so games I tested, the 60 something games I hit a complete dead end with. Every game in the list, if fixed for real hardware Windows XP users, can have a reward payout of $100 per game. In total, this bounty board is worth almost $5,000. Payments can be made via CashAp...

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: THE ACHILLES ARCHIVE - REVISION 1.5
Right after releasing The Achilles Archive on December 4, 2025, I began testing it as a user to ensure popular games worked properly. That process is now complete. I installed and tested 1,300+ games, fixing issues as they came up, replacing broken packages, removing some titles, and adding new ones. Many games, like Battlefield 2142, are now playable on XP for the first time in years, and others finally have stable configs after years of tinkering. I also wrote clear instructions for hundreds of games. Fewer than 50 games remain broken; they've been separated for future fixes. A bounty system will be announced soon, offering rewards for making these games work on XP, along with a dedicated download section for them. After working on this daily since March 2025, I'm taking a break. For version 2.0, I plan to add alternatives to Soulseek (while keeping it as an option). Thanks to everyone...
