i never had the patience to sneak in airborne ranger.
I can't remember - did you need to remain undetected at one point?

that said, i never did finish many scenarios when I played it 15 years ago..

Trips me out that I was only 6 years old when this was released. I remember playing it, loving it, and getting super frustrated at one mission in particular, which I could not seem to beat. Granted, I was pretty damn young, so cut a girl some slack. Always near and dear to my heart - a favorite.
MicroProse, I grew with them.

All I can say is, play it on C64 with an emulator, like WinVice. It will run at the right speed and looks and plays 'right'! This, after all, was one of the many games that were written for C64 and then 'ported'! Try the original, it's better in my opinion. Although the fact I have an original boxed version along with my original C64 still, I may be biased!

I had a lot of fun with this game when I was a kid. I downloaded and I had to realize that I'm not that patient anymore.:laugh:

Default Controls Don't work

I got a mac if that helps but the only controls that work are arrow keys and space. All the F1s don't work.

You can map the original keys into whatever ones you prefer. Open the mapper, I don't know how in DOSBox for Mac, but you can look it up in the readme that comes with DOSBox.

Another fun Microprose game. I don't know how I was ever good at it, because I suck now when I try to play.

Yes! An awesome game. Another title that I played for years on my C64. It still looks better on my C64 than the DOS version.
