I downloaded QEMM from a site and installed it...if I remember correctly it DID allow me access to the UMB high memory area. It was quite strange seeing the right side filled with numbers besides 0 when I typed in mem /c Anyways, if you still need it I can try and find the site again. On a...

I'm trying to get an old Pentium 90 system up and running for old DOS games. For a soundcard, i'm using a SB16 Vibra PNP card. It's taken me quite a while to finally find a driver/program that will make the card work (All I ended up needing was the ctcm.exe program from SB's website) Well...

The Priv2 universe is far cooler than the WC one! I mean in the WC one you couldn't visit the remote Kappa Labs and see all thsoe dead people...though you did find Steltek but that's a cartoon story.

I really loved Privateer 2, despite many people criticizing it. I thought it was one of the most original WC-like games out there. I mean, all new weapons, ships, new system (tri-system), new races, new planets (with really cool names), new fighting style (quick, stream lasers instead of laser...

I was rather dissapointed. I did not feel it emphasized the Kilrathis enough. For example, the opening sequence of WC3 contains the gothic look at Kilrah and then we're brought in to a Star Trek 6 Klingon-like arena where humans are put on trial. The voices and acting by the Kilrathi were...

I wasn't aware you could ally yourself with the cats. I mean, in the beginning, you're neutral to Confed, Militia, and Merchants and hostile to Kilrathi and Retros, so I assumed they were forever you're enemy. Also, I thought the cats' sole objective is to eradicate the human race (which...

Heh, well I got a game question! Near the end of Privateer when you fight the Palan Mercenary blockade, I accidently went on a rampage and killed 50+ mercs. In the process I befriended the pirates and made the confed and militia enemies. However, after a few pirate kills, I was able to get...

I'll just use the Sidewinder 3D Pro...that stick works perfectly in full dos mode, which is very nice because it's a digital stick. Anyways, thanks for the information.

Does this joystick work in pure DOS mode? I've been reading around and it seems it isn't supported for it. That may be why I can't get my joystick to work in DOS.

I would try msdos 5, but I don't have it and it's not available to download anywhere. And I doubt it would make any difference

NO, IT'S WAREZ!!! Hehe, just kidding. Yeah, it's a free emulator that can emulate many different types of operating systems (even linux). At first it may seem a bit complicated but it's really not. Go here for more the official page, though it kinda sucks: http://www.bochs.com Go...

whew.... Hehe, thanks. I was thinking about you the whole time I was writing it. "Will he aprove of this?" "Will I look like a moron to him?" "What am I doing, i'm not competent enough to tell him this!" etc..

Earthworm, of course no one's making anyone pay for WC products. But what if I didn't have Kilrathi Saga and I wanted to play it to see what the old games were like. You actually expect me to pay $500 to experience them? I'm not promoting Warez or anything like that, so there's no need for...

Hey, no prob... Okay, first off it's worth the trouble to getting Privateer to work; I can honestly say it's my favorite game ever. Anyways, depending on your sound card, this could be easy or possible a bit difficult. First of all, you need to edit your autoexec.bat and config.sys files...

My hypocrit point was that one of your guys' goal is to obviously spread the WC universe to other people, allowing them to enjoy what we've enjoyed for years. However, it's impossible to "spread" the joy when there's no way to currently obtain the games in any reasonable sense. If...
