Re: Windows PC users should uninstall QuickTime immediately I think it was Bad Mojo from GOG that installed actual QuickTime instead of the QuickTime Lite, but I may be confusing it with another GOG game. It would be interesting to know if 'QuickTime Lite' also has the vulnerability. Some of the older games on GOG use 'QuickTime Lite' to replace the original QuickTime. VLC (and other modern video players) certainly can't be used to substitute for QuickTime in older games.īut if you're not currently using QuickTime to play a game, you may want to uninstall it - at least if you're using it on a computer that's online and used for browsing the Internet. These sites that say to remove it assume you have no reason to have it installed other than using it to watch videos. If you're playing an older game that uses QuickTime, you have a reason to have it installed. None of the Kheops games from the 2000's used QuickTime. Sierra didn't use QuickTime for Shivers or Lighthouse. Myst III only required QuickTime for the Mac version, the Cryo games used their own 'Omni 3D' game engine instead of QuickTime. Other than RHEM 1,2,3, the only game from the 2000's that I can think of that used QuickTime is Alida (2003).

Journeyman Project (1,2,3), Myst, Riven, Obsidian, Morpheus, Lightbringer, Amber, The Arrival, Black Dahlia, CConnections, Chaos Adventure, Byzantine, 9: The Last Resort, Safecracker (1997), Riddle of the Sphinx, Bad Mojo, Beyond Time, Comer, and Qin are examples of 1990's games that used QuickTime. If a game is 1st person, runs in Windows (not DOS), and is from the 1990's, chances are it uses QuickTime. Most games that use QuickTime are from the 1990's. RHEM III from 2007 is the most recent game I can think of that used QuickTime. Not for PC anyway (I don't know about Mac).

I don't know of any new games that use QuickTime. Interesting article Donald, but don't you need QT to play most games? Will the app VLC replace that need?
