Yes,I had this damned game back then-I spent hours and had 5-6 different computer nerds fight it and the damned thing never ran for me either. I'm going to give it another try. Did it ever run for you?

Can you tell us a bit more?

What sistem are you using (WinXP, WinME, Win9x, DOS...)?
Have you tried DOSBox (the game works fine with it)?

This game works fine when following DOS BOX instructions!
The game is fantastic although a little frustrating............. Submarines!

Does anyone know if there is an instruction manual available to download somewhere ??

Go to this site for help on manual, patch, extra 14 scenarios, etc.

http://morssweb.com/5thfleet/#patch

I have the actual game, so to let you know it has a 100 page full colour Reference manual, a 48 page full colour game guide, 14 full colour screen flowcharts for the various scenarios, a 2 page full colour Keyboard Command card, a 4 page loading instructions guide, 4 A4 full colour 2 sided posters advertising other Avalon Hill games, a registration card, an order form and parts list and an 22" x 14" full colour map covering the scenario areas. Oh yes, and 5 3.5" 720k floppy disks!

Without the manual from the above site then, let's just say this game would be hard to get your head around! But when you have got your head around playing this game, it is absolutely bloody fantastic!!!!!
