o.o;;; Umm, where is the DOS version? I downloaded the one in Abanonia and it gave me problem.. I shot a ufo down and I sent a skyranger there but when I clicked on ok, the game just kicked me off and told me something about error... I use windows XP and I tried using DOSBox for it and it just tells me to use Windows. X.x;

Oh yeah, one more thing... I tried saving but when I got back on the game after the error.. the save disappeared.

For pete's sake... GOOGLE!!! LOL

I got mine way back, but it's full DOS version. Kickass. It was worth making these HDD backups every now and then. :whistle:

But, if the DOS is an older version than the gold version, wouldn't it have more bugs? (apart perhaps from this particular problem).


glam, it depends, is there a pattern to the crashes? Are you using the DOS or some other version? How do you run the game? What is your graphics card, what is your operating system? Of course the game is also not completely bug free...but I doubt we will see any patch soon LOL

I downloaded the CD version off this great site, but when I double-click UFO defense.exe or UFO.exe, I just get a black screen for about 3 seconds and then get dropped back to windows (xp).

Anyone encountered the same problem?
thx in advance

I've just started playing UFO again, still using my age-old dos version. Of course this means I only have 1 difficulty level, but on the other hand it has never crashed (on Win XP + Dosbox). The only problem I have is that I can't reload some games saved during combat, and of course the "can't put item back in alien's pocket" thing.

Another difference with later versions is the price of some items, though the most profitable item to manufacture (laser cannon) hasn't changed in price, and it's the best choice to make money in all versions.

But I've heard about a patch for the Dos version that might solve the problem of having only 1 difficulty level.

I don't think that was official patch.

I'm pkaying allo my original CD version of the game. Everything is the same as above.

I have also Gold Version that came with special issue of PC Gamer long time ago.
