Although I played a game first time looong ago, in '98, I have an advice for those who always end up with no cash... At the very start of the game attack the cult that worships aliens, no one will hate you cause of that. In the raid, take an item that I can't quite remember of, but I know it's quite expensive on the market and SELL IT. Ain't a cheat, bug neither... excellent, ha? Just don't take it on me that I can't think of the name of that object

I'm playing on superhuman and got the dimensional probe, went to the alien world and came back. Now I can't get there with any troops. What activates the bio transport and other ships that can go the alien dimension? Icant seem to get the research to activate.

I have a question for someone

How exactly do you get the game music to run for Apocalypse after you download it off the site?

Thanks

You can't. The music been ripped off from the game to decrease the size of the archive. Most games are ripped in some way of sound, music or videos when they are added to ABW site because otherwise the game size would be way too high and this over time cost a lot of bandwith to the site.

I have the original CD here and let me tell you that the game might actually be more enjoyable without music than with... So you are not missing much anyways. <_<

You might consider using DosBox.
You can download it here.

Sure.
Dynamic core
Cycles increase
And frameskip

Works wonders, but you want to use v0.65 of Dosbox for this (v0.63 was crashing almost constantly when you tried to run it in Dynamic core mode... ugh).
