nevermind, I had to restart anyway.

I killed all the snakemen and chrysalids attacking my only base... but the mission didn't end. so I spread out my guys to find any remaining aliens and lost them one by one to a chrysalid. ever noticed how those things stalk your guys when they're out of reach? you turn away, press next turn , and it jumps on him.

A tip, when fighting chrysalids with cheap human rifles, make everyone to carry an activated HE.
If your are using better equipment, specially in base defend mission or terror missions where you dont known who is surronding who, carry movement detectors.

Hey guys, long time listener, first time caller.

I have UFO and Dos box, and have gotten as far as getting the dos prompt to the main folder of UFO Defense(The one with GEODATA, GEOGRAPH, GAME_1 etc.), but can't run the exe program or whatever. There's also no setup file for the sound.

This is driving me insane. I've already looked at Dosbox faq a few dozen times but can't figure it out. Please help me as I want to relive the glory days of killing floaters and snakemen.

Thanks.

Enter UFOCD; I think GO will make it go as well, must be some difference between the two.

Hey all, I'm having a problem with the Abandonia DOS version of UFO. I'm running Ubuntu Linux 7.04 (feisty) with DOSBox 0.65.

My problem is that when I try to start the game with the command "ufocd" in DOSBox, I have absolutely no mouse support at all. No cursor, no clicking, nothing. I don't know what other commands I could use to start the game -- "go" does nothing and neither does "full".

Can this be fixed?

Odd... no, I don't. Tried Pizza Tycoon and Dominus and no mouse in either. And in the meantime I've been doing some Google digging, and it appears I'm the only person on the face of the planet with this problem. :wallbash:

*sigh*

Do you have a PS/2 mouse or a USB mouse? Try a PS/2 and see if that changes anything.
