===Drawbacks===
However, sometimes these ports were sloppy, and prone to bugsor optimisation issues (e.g. ''Grand Theft Auto IV''). It has to be approached on a case by case basis. The game may also only have very out dated options, such as only a few resolutions.
The most common PC ports were to the Windows brand of operating systems. Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows 2000 ports may be difficult to run on a modern Windows OS such as Windows 7 or Windows 8, usually with varying levels of compatibility or patching required. [[Wine]] can many times play these games very well. Other ports were to [[DOS]], which can be played very well in [[DOSBox]].
===PC to console ports===
Since game consoles are much less powerful than PCs, it is recommended to avoid PC games ported to consoles. Typically the games have to be altered to fit the constraints of console, and may be forced to use a radically different control scheme. An exception to this rule would be Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine's N64 port, and the console versions of certain Disney games like ''Cars 2'' and ''Toy Story 3''. In the latter case the PC versions suffer from downgraded graphics as a consequence of having to account for lower-end systems used by most families.
