Hi guys, it's great to find others who loved this game as much as I did. I ran my copy on a 486 PC back in the day and have just rediscovered that I can run it on a DOS sim on my modern computer. Imagine my excitement!

One problem: control. My DOS sim is Boxer, which runs the game fine on my Mac, running OS 10.8, but I have one issue: The commands keys. I've downloaded the various manuals you guys have on file here, including the old keyboard templates. All the number and shift and shift=# keys work just fine. I can load and fire weapons, increase/decrease speed, etc. And the bottom row keys (z-/) work just fine, as well. But none of the function (nor the shift-function) keys work at all. They still do "Mac" stuff - dim my display, change volume, etc. The esc key doesn't work either. Basically I can't change my main displays, do acoustical signature stuff, change depth, set course (other than with rudder commands), etc.

This takes a ton of fun out of the game. Any solutions?

Thanks in advance

CTRL+F1 to open up DOSBox keymapper (Boxer is not an emulator, just a frontend for DOSBox)

Are you guys using a 5.25 drive on an old machine to load the game or did they come out with a CD version or???

thanks

You can play this game on your computer with emulator software, no need for any special hardware. See my previous post four above for instructions.

I have been searching EVERYWHERE for Red Storm Rising. I can download emulators & dos versions of every other old game I like (Pirates! Nobunga's Ambition, Shadowrunner), but this game eludes me. Everything I download is a bunk zip file OR I get redirected to a site that asks for my credit card & doesn't even have the game. Where are y'all finding this & can someone give me a link?? Thank you!!
