ok, thanx man. but i think* the TFTD version on this site is cd version. Can somebody tell me where to find a dos version??? :whistle:

Last I checked, it is the dos version. The reason for the huge size of the download is that the movie clips do not compress, at all. Basically, the download is the dos CD version compressed to a single file. Earlier in this thread are instructions to run it in dosbox (sometime late 2005, as it is one of my early posts)

TFTD was the first game that I got to work on dosbox.

I searched this forum and could not find the answers i needed. does someone know exactly what I need to do to get the downloads of Xcom 1 and 2 from abandonia to work on dosbox?? i've tried everything i can think of and nothing is working. please just lay it out for me. thanks.

For some people the EXE. with the sun will work on XP and others without dosbox. BUT
the one with the alien face will work for dos. When you have mounted the drive and opened the game folder run the one with the alien face.

As for THTD that worked in Dosbox perfectly for me. :blink:

Hope it works!

Hmm. I'm having some trouble running this. I'll detail my process in case I'm doing something wrong.

I unzipped the folder and left it as is (after realizing that installing it is a waste of time) then to play I double click on "terrorcd.bat" then I play and it runs fine until I get to a Terror mission (the first one of the game) and everytime it crashes after I end my first turn. What happens is thus:
I do my thing (i've tried doing nothing and it still crashes). Then the aliens that I can see move around and do their thing, then when it goes into the hidden movement phase, the HUD (the commands and all that) show up on the bottom, the splash screen is squished into the remaining space and then it goes black and pop! back to the XP desktop with this box:

If I choose ignore then the cursor is just sitting there and not doing anything and the screen is otherwise black. Nothing moves.

So I just close and try again. Anyone have a suggestion?
I've got it all loaded on a flash drive if that matters, but I searched the trouble shooting archives and found that 1 other person had a similar problem but no one addressed it. I'm not using DosBox.

:help:

Apparently it also happens at other times with the exact same error message.
