I also let him go. I like the guy. Of course, I also chose not to defect the first time I played WC4 too.

I'm hoping Ross Ridge will work his MyJemm magic on the Strike Commander CD version. I can get it running in DOS, but there's something screwy with my SBLive!'s SB16 emulation. So, no sound of any kind. Which neuters the game for me, so I've never played it farther than a couple of missions...

Yeah, that's ridiculous. Even in Canadian dollars.

One thing that hasn't been brought up yet is the greater offensive potential of 7 Fralthra vs 1 Hakaga. There is a theoretically equal amount of striking power between the two forces, but 7 Fralthra is not only more defensible, but much more maneuverable on the offensive as well. For example...

I seem to recall Tolwyn, Bondarevsky, and Blair (in the WC3 novel at least) all enjoying good scotch. As well Kirha, I think, though I'm unsure about that one. Gee, I wonder what Forstchen likes to drink?

I notice you keep saying refineries. Sandra Goodin is found on mining bases.

You couldn't stand the horrible voiceovers? Crowley, the horrible voiceovers are what make the show so excellent. Well, that and the opening sequence where the host picks up the yellow pepper, takes a bite, and smiles maniacally at the camera.

You can also copy the .tre files off the CD to your privateer directory, and edit the .cfg files there to point them in the right direction, thereby removing any need for a CD drive. And you there, I beg for help, quit hijacking everybody's threads.

Well, for starters, you're definitely not specifying enough RAM in your HIMEM line. 2.5 MB of RAM isn't quite enough to be running Privateer. Since you don't say how much you have, I'm not sure of it, but if you have a pentium II you probably have enough to increase that number to 4096, 8192...

I don't recall seeing any planets. I assume you're talking about in-flight graphics here. Unless I'm a little crazy and/or blind, all I ever remembered seeing in WC1 was random space debris while flying normally. This space debris would then disappear when asteroids or other ships would...

Quit complaining, it could be worse. I mean, you could be living in Milwaukee and watching the Brewers. Oh, wait, that's me. Call me crazy, but I still don't understand how cutting the payroll from the already paltry 40 million to 30 million is going to help us field a winning team. And to...

Not to mention what sort of Windows you're running.

mmmm, I think we'll screw you over until you get a legal copy. There's plenty out there if you look, they're just not new on the shelves.

Well, slow down there Turbo. What exactly is giving you trouble? From your first post I was led to believe your entire computer had a problem. You mentioned a battery. Are you using a laptop? Not only that, you're not even telling us what you're trying to do. If you let us know what...

Well, you're not entirely without options. You could set up a dual boot system, you could run an emulator like DOSBox, or you could snag yourself an old machine meant to play Wing Commander games in general, not just Privateer. Sorry the quick and easy solution didn't work for you though.

Well, Ross Ridge is correct in this case. You need 95/98/ME to run MyJemm, since the JEMM memory manager REQUIRES a partition that knows what DOS is. NTFS can't deal with this, since NTFS doesn't even know what EMM386 or JEMM or EMS or XMS are. Compatibility mode will NOT work in this case...

Yeah, as far as I know the victory cue repeating just happens once in a while. I've only had it happen two or three times in all the times I've played WC1 KS over the years. I think it's just an infrequent bug we have to deal with. As for tracks repeating themselves for the last 2-3 seconds a...

Starkey...I haven't heard Winchester in years. I think I've still got a Winchester card from the mid eighties sitting around that has a stamp on it: made in West Germany. :D

I've found that the Kilrathi Saga port of Wing Commander 2 isn't quite as tight as the original is. If it really bugs you, there's always the original to be picked up extremely cheaply. I play the original when I want action, and the Kilrathi Saga when I want to hear all the purty music.

My theory for there being completely different fighters in WC3 is that Confed's acquisition department probably gets pushed around by a very strong industrial-military complex, who keep pushing new fighters on Confed to make more money. There is evidence that there is a strong industrial...
