F8 is not that usefull, and F11 and F12 have no functions at all in Colonization. I don't even remember playing with keyboards who actualy had more than 10 function keys on them when Colonization shipped... Did you try playing around with the cycles? |

*sigh* Why are you necroing a thread which is 4 years old??? Your answer is plain and simple: use DOSBox with the DOS version. I used it for hours in the same go, it works fine and it works exactly like it was working back in the days... |

| FreeFreddy | Just like the Windows version of Pirates! Gold... That Windows remaked versions of games seem all to be worse than the Dos originals. |

| Dream | Whatever you'll do do not put in here windows version! It's awful, doesn't has music, and graphics are worse, and you can't use keyboard IIRC, plain awful. |

Hmm. Perhaps I'll download and install it again. Really weird. In dosbox it locks up as well, I hate it because I have some friends telling me it's an awesome game and from what I've seen I like it as well. I download the windows version from the-underdogs.org or something like that but when I try to run that version it says wing.dll is missing. Oh the humanity! If anybody knows what else it could be please please please tell me I'm getting desperate
