Ahh, maybe I'll try and scan my cd cases, I've got most back at my parents so I'll have to go get them some time

Cool!, I've been pondering for a while scanning the CD covers for the various WC's, so that the copies I have without proper cases (E.g. EA Classics WC3) can be updated to something shiner! But of course, the boxes are all a little tattied from the years. What are you using to smarten up your...

These are among the coolest things I've seen for a while!

I don't know about wc3 or 4 mac but I found that SWC worked great on OS7 (which is available for free from apples website)

so thats what, 8pm gmt, on a saturday too - i reckon i can make that

heh, looks like a cross between space above and beyond and the starship troopers sequels.

When I did screenies of the swc nav maps for the encyclopedia I used basilisk. The date issue though definitely sounds like a cmos battery - should be simple enough to replace, surely not even apple would make a battery a custom part!

If I recall correctly, if you get far enough away from an enemy ship then they do explode (presumably a bug in the "dissapear from view" code).

The WC deluxe cd's have 3 installers on them as i recall, I'd need to check to be sure, but i think you need to install the sm's seperately to the main game. Glancing at my WC1/2 Deluxe CD (sorry I don't have a plain wc1 cd to check) it looks like there are 3 batch files, make_wc, make_sm1 and...

There was another version of the SQ pack (released in the UK at least under sierra classic collection) that contained both the CGA and VGA versions. Personally, my only dislike of the VGA version is that the CGA 2 looks rubbish afterwards! As for what's good on GOG, i've just seen that Star...

Looks pretty, but I, like the others above, don't remember syndicate being quite so dimensional ;) It's a bit like a relaunch of Cannon Fodder as a Brothers-In-Arms style shooter! That said, half of Syndicate's charm was the setting, If they can nail that (and include the persuadertron - gotta...

Oops, didnt see the gog bit there! Yeah Gog's release probably mounts that drive as C:\ so you won't see anything else on the drive. However, since the game is the same, you could just load up the game in your own copy of dosbox, transfer the pilot in there and then use the GOG loader again.

There is a windows 95 patch for wc4 in the CIC's files somewhere. However, as for windows 7 compatability, I know it's supposed to be hard to get working but i installed the dvd version on my laptop yesterday, installed fine, set the compatability to windows 98 and ran as administrator and it...

I've definitely had problems with wc2 in the past not liking paths longer than c:\wing. Certainly it won't handle spaces!

calibrate in windows, calibrate in dosbox - not sure that wc1 and 2 had one, but if they did it's probably in the install program

hold your horses! I'm sure people would be interested, I might be, just give then a bit more time!

It would make embedding the SegaCD speech into WC1 much easier

I have a couple of old WC2 missions in my archive that might be the ones you mean: Against the Odds, Armageddon, Concordia, Fralthi Damaged, Kabla Meth and Tarawa Mission are the zip file names I have, are any of those the ones HCL wrote?

So I logged in for a quick peruse of the latest news, and my rank has been knocked down to cadet! What gives?

basically the DDHack just fixes the graphics bugs that appear in win7 (mixed legacy support i think), it also adds a few smoothing filter options, because they 'came with the patch' to quote Sol, but nothing special in that area. So if it runs okay in xp then you lose nothing important. Looks...
