Next year.

But, the CD version is definitely installable in DosBox. I did so myself.
You might want to read the A Beginner's Guide to DOSBox.

If you have any questions, I'll gladly answer them.

i have used the dosbox and masterd it but vista dont work like xp...

unless a new dosbox that work properly with vista is made i ca get it to work.

worst part is that even though i can use my os to simulate install in win 95 and then run the game in win 95
it just dont start.

keeps bugging about it dont supprt fullscreen which i tried to bypass with having it running in a window but that didnt work either...



btw i read earlier that the game is on p2p servers so im loading it now and hope it will work that way.
and the file is 83.65 mb large and i dont remember how large the file from here was so if you just could check it for me that it is in the right size ill owe you.

havent played this game for 3 months and the shakes (which i got after 4 days) is really pissing me off now, im addicted and i can shake it. MUST have the game again.


sides while im at it who owns the rights for the x-com series?
might wanna plop them a letter asking if they ever wonder if they should bring this game back to life with a new step in the history or a face lift of the older ones.

What's the exact problem? Does DOSBox refuse to work under your Vista altogether?

In that case, I suggest Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. It's free, and unlike so many M$ programs it actually works like it's supposed to. Try it.

dosbox can start but as soon as im trying to do anything beyond mounting my c drive such as starting the game it crashen with the exeption does not support fullscreen.

just as if i havent used the box at all..


ill try the virtual pc now and ill be back if it works, or not..
(seems like i actually have to piece my old machine back up can't get fallen haven to work either)

Using D-Fend with DOSBox may get around that problem.

well virtual pc does not work in vista,
dosbox is a nightmare on me,
VDMsound dont start alltogether,
d-end dont even install

and this is after i also tried reinstalling vista.

this is a nightmare do i actually have to play C&C 3 now *shivers*
thank god that civilization:call to power is working...

btw im dl x-com now from p2p.

and im starting to piece together my old faithfull machine
its soo extremly fast with its whooping 800 mhz and 64 mb ram.. god i miss the days i could say that

that was the age computers WORKED, not like nowdays...

well as soon as i got the game downloaded and unzipped(i remember that the file i got here worked on my brothers vista) ill say how it works in the meanwhile ill try to resurect my old faithfull.

The way I see it, no M$ operating system should be used until it's at least two years old. By then most of the bugs and compatibility issues should have been resolved.

Maybe there is a point in suggesting you actually move back to XP? :P

Hey, it _is_ fast.

i used win2k with some *minor* pirate improvements.

i could run anything on it even xbox games.

to bad i cant get it back though,

my friend that has the cd got raided by APB, they tend to hunt down filesharers and pirate users and so on.
i have eluded them so far

Hint APB is operating inside sweden only and is a goverment wing.

btw i have gotten 3 % of the zip file from p2p now its only been 1 and half day....


btw my cpu stats are:
ati Radeon Sapphire 9800xt
Dual prescott 3 Ghz
512mb DDR ram
2k Gb hard drive (when counted as total, yes i have tonnes of usb hard drives all connected )

i doubt it can be my problems but maybe,
but i kinda ned more RAM

[The Fifth Horseman]

What you need is a different OS. :P
3 Ghz should run Apocalypse just fine.

The old faithful beast is now up and running.

though i kinda have a hard time remembering that a fan cooled pc made so much noise but whatever,
i got all my classic games running now and it is heaven, now i have saved lots of money that otherwise would go to cover the costs at the pub

well im off to kick alien behind and i still remember my favorite weapon.
powerswords
if your hiding around corners and using power swords u kill cost effective.

and i still remember the day i landed my first mothership.
all was going wel untill the giants came when one of my guys that i thought had a stun grapple was sent forward killed 4 of them without geting his shield knocked out. and he was a Rookie. k:

well ill be back some time maybe but now im gonna fall into a trance of x-com that not even my girlfreind can take me out of (unless its a blackout).
