I've got Turbo and it slows down my pc under XP. It's one of the best-known ones so I guess it's ok...

I think in geoscape view (when you see the globe) if you click the 5sec button, that the game time should increase with 5sec for every second real time.

Yeah... I am pretty sure that the time goes by faster than than that. I'll have to check the time with a stopwatch or something.

Hello All.

I should express from my heart that this game is in my Top10 list of all video games I've played. I have played a zillion of games since beginning of '80s, believe me. k:

There might be ppl who find the initial start a bit hard to get used to, but they will be missing hell of an action if they give up. Just get some more scientist for research and get into the action, addiction is guaranteed in very short term once you get the basics.

After around 5 years, I have been restarted recently and played it for about 20 hours in total during last weekend, during which I had to prepare 2 essential presentations for work. I ended up hovering in PowerPoint around 3 a.m. on Sunday.

Quit the game after long hours' play to get back to real life and you might find yourself hesitating to use all of your Time Units while doing regular things at home!

Anybody else with this funny T.U. confusion in real life just after quitting, I wonder ???

Do not start playing this game unless you have 1 week's free time with no responsibilities. You can literally get fired from work.

Oh well, it doesn't have to be exact, no worries if it goes twice that speed or so.
The idea is just that if you click '5 sec' that the in-game time advances so slowly that you have plenty of time to give commands to your aircraft, in time to intercept ufo's or land at a crash/terror site...

[FoxURA]

The problem is that the game time goes by so fast that when the attack menue appears I don't have enough time to even check what all my attack options are... The window only stays open for maybe 5-10 seconds max.

Does anyone know if there are any slow-down programs that slow down the program itself and not the system as a whole? I would rather not slow the system down because that would prevent me from starting new things in the background while the game is going on because the system resources are already used up.

[another_guest]

So far I didn't have any luck finding such programs.

I would suggest you use the DOS version and run it through Dosbox. This will cause the game to run at its designed speed, while hopefully not using too much of your system resources.

One of the versions of Mo'slo does just that, but not the free one so you'd have to pay.

hey guys im a massive fan of ufo enemy unknown. It is easily my favourite game of all time. I used to play it as a younger kid 7-8 years old on my old pc windows 95. I remember playing it allot before the computer went down which kinda sucked. But now i have a problem

I found it again this week from this site and downloaded all of the files. Problem is im a total noob when it comes to actually understanding what to do with it. So i extracted all of the files then double clicked on the ufo defense icon. It all comes up and i get the sounds and thought fantastic, But the screen goes completly black. Now it comes up with send error report everytime i rty to even start and run it

Is there anyone who can help, I'm not to accustomed with DOS either which doesn't help but i would love to learn. Please can someone point me in the right direction

Cheers
will

Which exec are you running? You should use the patched one (bandage icon).

well there is a choice of two.

ufo star icon
and UFO defense hasbro

Clicked on both of them and neither work, just get music and a blank screen
