Solution 1: Install DOS

Solution 2: Install a DOS based Windows (95/98/ME)

Solution 3: Get a DOS emulator, such as DOSBox....

somehow every DOS game on this site doesnt work on my computer. I have Windows XP Service Pack 2 and for some reason I had Windows 98 and the DOS games worked. Can someone find a solution to how I will get my computer to play DOS games again?

Install double-boot XP and 98 so that whenever you need real DOS to run old games you are ready. Note: you have to install 98 first.

Hello:
To the people having trouble running the game on XP, here is my option:
I use the windows version of TFTD and it works fine under XP. I don't know if that's the same version that is located here in Abandonia. I think that this is the best and easy way to make XCom2 run under such operative system. Don't forget to deactivate the hardware acceleration before running the game (if not you'll see "interferences", at least with Nvidia Gcards)
There's also the option of using DosBox but you'll need a fast machine to make Xcom run smoothly
Bye, hope it helps!

You are right, the version of Xcom2 at abandonia is the DOS version, which has trouble running on XP.

Anyone get problems with the Abandonia Xcom2 download please try to get the Windows version (which runs fine on XP) at www.the-underdogs.org. Check the Strategy section and you will find Xcom2. The download is around 4MB.

Warning: Two versions have difference research tree!!!
To understand it, please visit this website of a veteran:

and go to the Xcom2 research tree section.

OR do like everybody else and use DOSBox. k:

Edit: Very nice site BTW.

OR install DOS 6.2....

OR simply use MS-DOS prompt in Win '98 if you have it (lucky bastards) or D-fend (handy as hell).

OR a boot disk and FAT partition...

Any of the above will work. I hope that you have fun with this game (that isn't as good as UFO, but whatever).
