System Shock with or without Dosbox.

[Dyret]

Anyone know how to make CD version of syshock work in XP with or without Dosbox? VDM and dosbox gives the same error message, and if i just play it without a dos emulator, the game quits when a start a new game.

I've never heard of this min-game and I too would like to play SS1 on my XP as it sounds like a game I would enjoy more than SS2 regarless of WC factor

Thanks for the link LeHah!
I installed the syshock 1 XP patch succesfully and now it works just fine.

The System Shock games are pure awesome. I hope they put out a third game in the series.

The minigame in the first System Shock is called "Wing0". You get a little 3" x 3" screen at the botom of you HUD to play the game. Ships fly around and when you hit it with a gun it sounds like you're lobbing golfballs at someone's car.
