I just can't cetch a brake with privateer games. Okay i just re-installed Privateer 2 (deluxe edition for win95/98) and my joystick is not working properly. It will not calerbrate currectly. It is a CH Flightstick Pro. For some reason it doesnt want to center. In windows it works just fine...

Well if we're talking for their time, hands down it is WC III. I remember clearly when it came out. The requirements were rather steap and it needed all of 12 MBs of ram to run. (trust me it wouldnt work on 8 even with the best bootdisc). In addition it really need a pentium to ran smooth. At...

I started this threated to find a good privateer game for windows. Its come a nice little trip down memeory lane. If anyone cares, i still have some old doom stuff laning around i archived to cdr, including both doom1 and doom2 full versions (v1.9) for windoes. If someone had doom for DOS and...

I might be of some service I ran Priv on a 486 dx2 66 for, oh lord...4 years? Anyway, needless to say i've incounted some weird things. Post ur readout when u type the "mem" command. What hardware is on the 486 exactly? and r u running from CDrom or harddrive? herb_co

Just Curios? Why do u need a CD-Rom to run priv? It just takes up more conventional memory. Just copy the *.tre files from cd to harddrive and edit the *.cfg s. It only takes abot 160 MB and in today's computers with 20+ GB drives thats nothing. Plus u can always delete the files if you need...

I think its obvious that games are so incrediably complex. I have a 64 DDR vid card. My first Pc didn't even have 64 MB of Harddisc space! hehe Its funny in a way. It just seems in order to meet deadlines , programs focus 95% time on making the game look good, and a few hours at the end...

the new, the old, and the ugly How does everyone feel about old games. We'll say 90-96 vs. new? Of course the technology is stunning, but have game designers lost site of the pure play factor? It seems games go out of style quicker these days. The original wing commander was highly played...

Actually Your listings are quite out dated. I tried using them but with very limited success. I was just passing along the info on a wim to be nice. Not like im making cash off it heh. But i know how hard original copies are to come by, and eBay is usually way too high. herb_co

Decision Time Well after looking around for the suggested games at CD stores and reading reviews, I went with the tried and true Privateer 2. I once owned this game but promptly took it back because at the time i had a 486 DX4 100, but it needed a Pentium 75 (everyone who clearly remembers...

I'm looking for a new game to play. In short i want a modren (win98) version of Privateer. So what games come to mind? Something where you are independent, have cash, freedom to do things ( at least a limited one) and most impornt the ability to buy and constumize ur ship and then blow the hell...

Thanks, Thank you for the information, and help. At least i can run priv in dos mode with sound, but still i'm going to attempt to re-write the manager. Its good to relive the 'dos days' again. Windows has made my code writing soft. Herb_co

How much effort? How much effort has been put into bypassing, disabling, or editing privateer's memory manage (by knowledgeable persons)?

I have some questions for anyone with knowledge. What exactly is the reason Privateer will NOT run in a windows box? I can run Academy and WC2 just fine in a windows DOS box. I can run privateer in DOS but with some problems. I have a SB Live Value card with the emulator installed. The music...
