My wife wants to get her hands on FF7 and FF8 for the PC. We have both for the PlayStation, but she wants to play the PC version.

I see I can buy them on Ebay, but before I risk it with a stranger, I wanted to see if any of you wanted to sell the game.

I used to have them on PC, I still might somewhere. I'd recommend sticking to the PS versions, though. In 8, there are some nice graphics conversions, but the games are extremely finicky, and don't support most video cards. You end up using software graphics emulation, and it is the same graphics as on the PS. Plus, looking at low resolution 320x280 graphics on the computer monitor really bites. And while the movies on 8 are very cool, at 640x480, I believe, the ones for 7 are the original 320x280 movies, and again, it makes it difficult to enjoy the game. There are also some sound sync problems on the PC versions, at least on 7. It is also easier to use the controller for FF on the PS, and much harder on the PC. You have to get used to a lot of different things, and in my honest opinion, the PC versions aren't worth the money.

If you still want to try them, I can try to find my copies, and maybe burn them for you. I don't think there are copy protection on them. They are fairly old discs.
