for earthsiege you'll want to use DosBox (try D-Fend Reloaded as a frontend to setting it up easy)
Play my free open source web game MiniMek - Urbie Defense!  Its "mega fun" but with mini meks!

I think Earthsiege 2 was better than Starsiege; Starsiege got rid of the integrated cockpit displays, so it lost one the big things that separated it from MechWarrior.

I can't attest to Earthsiege, but I know the Starsiege disc(s) do work on Win7 x64.
Yeah, but they're pretty buggy. I crash constantly

But THAT is a Problem of the games from back then . .
'any kind of discussion of randomness ALWAYS WILL EQUATE to being able to critically hit a mech's reactor by firing a micro beam laser while facing 80 degrees to the side, shooting the ground, which would cause a random explosion which would randomly crit his entire team's reactors which would randomly cause the server itself to explode which would randomly generate a strange quark which would randomly hit the earth and randomly randomness randomfapp the shit fapp random!'

Meh, it doesn't crash any more on Win7 than it did on Win98/2k.
