[The Fifth Horseman]

IIRC, it's non-WIN-compatibile. Try DosBox, works like a charm (and should work VERY well even on slower machines).

I have been looking for the original Mechwarrior for years if anyone knows where to get it or wants to sell a copy with code book my e-mail is ***edit by strobe
I got to play the original at a friends years ago have always wanted to play again.
Front Mission 3 is Good and FM4 is ok great features but too short of a game I thought. Let me know.

***sorry, but this game is ESA-protected, so there's no way to get it but buying it

[The Fifth Horseman]

http://www.the-underdogs.org . They have ESA's permission for hosting the game.

Strobe, don't you think it was a little harsh on him? From what I understood wasn't asking for w***z, but for possible buy link or a trade offer of a second-hand copy.

Either way, I doubt this is possible. No data storage device - especially a floppy - can survive for 14 years undamaged.

:ranting: Another goddamn n00b.

Read the post just before yours. It's not like I didn't give a link to a site which has the hosting permission and not like I have not explained why it cannot be hosted here.

Do you use dosbox? My mechwarrior runs perfectly under it.

I have dosbox 0.63 and mechwarrior works just fine. Do you have these settings in your
dosbox.conf?

fullscreen=true
fulldouble=false
fullfixed=true
fullwidth=640
fullheight=400

intelligent=false

IIRC, the HOTU copy is cracked. So the login sequence skips automatically. All it really is is copy protection question. You cannot enter player name there or anything like that.

For playing MW in Windows, you'll need some slowdown program.
