Review

There is also another way to by-pass the copyprotecton WITHOUT using up the ink for your printer.

Just open the document and search for key words in the Copy-protection question.

(Of course, this can only be done when playing the game in a window in DOSbox).

Happy gaming.

Re: Wing Commander
 

this was one of my greatest pc gaming memories ... a game that played brilliantly, looked visually far ahead of its time and used a little something that i bought for my pc ... soundblaster !

back when games used the pc speaker .... this game came along and played like an orchestra from a internationally recognised philharmonic group.

Can't get Wing Commander started
 

What DOSBox settings are needed to run WC? I've been playing around with the memory and video settings, but nothing seems to work.

The game will play the sound from the orchestra intro, but with a still image -- no animation. (I seem to recall the image of the Earth moving up into space and the Origin logo appearing). Either way, it freezes after the music is over.

Any suggestions?

well it sounds to me like your computer cannot handle the work load. What kind of computer do you have?

Can someone help me in getting this game to work?

I have tried to start it in windows and dosbox.

In dos box all I get is a blank screen and sometimes some chopy noise which i am gusseing is music but that is all. <_<

When I try it in windows it starts the game about 1 out of every 3-5 trys but it plays WAY to fast to do anything when flying :blink:

so if anyone knows how to make it work right in dosbox or slow it down well in windows
plaes help.
