Did you ever get the game to work? I have everything figured out except how to make the battle work on the small screen. I have played it on snes, but dont know how to make it work on laptop. Just need to know how to give orders.

Thanks man, I am getting there! I have everything figured out except the controls for the individual battles. The manual is the one from SNES, so it wont tell me how to play on my laptop. Anyone know how to control game in a battle?

OK, got it to work, but the screen is tiny and is there a manual?

Just made a donation and downloaded Operation Europe, but it is just a list of 36 files. the .exe files when opened just say they made an illegal operation and have to close. How do I open it?
