    WC3 KS Blues...

    to get the KS WC3 to work in XP, just make sure you don't use the KS launcher, find the file and run the exe straight from there. Alt-Tab out and get the programme manager up, set it to normal priority on the process tab (right click and select priority) and then go back to it. works great.

    WC1 Secret Missions

    I have to admit that I prefer sm1 to sm2, I just liked the whole feel of it more rather than the whole fighting retreat thing in sm2

    Your first Wing Commander experience?

    my first 286 with only 2mb ram and a 20mb hard disk had to do. I managed a 386 at some point and it had a 16mb hard disk, fantastic stuff. I played Wc1 right from the off at my friends house, we were about 8 at the time. he got 2 almost as soon as it came out. I remember quite vivdly going...

    People with glasses in the military?

    I'm with you there Battle Dog, glasses are ok. However there is a large body of evidence that suggests that laser eye surgery affects both peripheral and night vision making it much less effective than it once was. May as well just wear contact lenses and be happy with it.

    Can someone PLZ help me

    I only muddled through the set up so I could apply the patch. It is worth re-visiting it then and setting up the sound properly. I have the sound when I play it on my laptop. I had to get Kilrathi Saga to play 3 though.

    Hey there bro, I have the same problem. I have not ever got WC3 to work on my laptop but I have with WC4. Go to the CIC files section and get the windows 95 patch for the game. Load the installer and try and find your way as best as possible so that it is installed. Then run the patch in the...

    Ultima Online

    I am busy playing 7 at teh mo to get back into the whole feel of the Ultima games. I dont see the problem with the graphics. Part of the thing I love about older games is that the dont look too real, I really like that. Games are meant to be fantastical

    by leaving things to the imagination I refer to the story making. WCP had technologies that just seemed too well developed along with the film being used I have to say that the timescale just leaves me hoping for the olden days. Most modern views of space are pretty grim and all films make...

    Hey chaps. I don't really see the appeal of the post WCP era. To my mind the earlier wing games had a lot more scope for imagination on behalf of the player. Developing that timeline would be great, it seems to be the time when there is a gap in what most people know about WC, well me anyway...

    Ultima Online

    sounds cool. We could get a few people in on it. Let's not be too weird, I am sure that there would be some people who would beat us up for being WC fans but we could get a little club house together and make some dosh and invite some people round and preach the gospel of WC to them. Now that...

    Ultima Online

    that would be cool I reckon. We could wander about and go on adventures together. I once could have said that I was not going to play cos I was going to join the forces but no, I am soon to be a college lecturer. According to the UO website I am cut out to be a blacksmith. What are you guys?

    People with glasses in the military?

    people who require glass normally are not allowed to fly. Reading glasses as pilots get older is ok I think, it costs a lot of money to train a pilot so as long as it is not too bad then I guess they can stay. In wartime I don't think wearing glasses would preclude someone from serving...

    Ultima Online

    This is nice and off the topic of the whole WC thing but I only trust the opinions of the people here. I am wanting to get into the whole Ultima online thing but I am not too sure how to go about it. There seems to be so many UO games I don't know which one to buy and whether it makes a...

    you know when you are really a privateer when you are sat in a little sailing boat of the costa del sol dodging the local fuzz and being a million miles away from the computer. You know when you have been playing on the pooter too much if you ever even though the above.

    Dosbox and WC2 on CD

    nice work chaps, that worked really well. I am impressed that you were able to sort fo that out for me. Now, is there anyway to get dosbox to do full screen or at least slightly larger than it is currently doing?
