Pretty sure I have the manual around somewhere.

EDIT: Ok, I found it. It is the CD insert style manual. I'll scan it for you this weekend and upload it. It is up to you, however, to supply Romano with the necessary bribe to get it added to the site anytime soon.

Since the version I have is CD based maybe this one is a good candidate for the ISO cellar. Ermuli?

The manual's already uploaded but hasn't been published in more than half a year. And this game's IMpossible to understand without manual. I'd download it directly from the server but I can't, just upload.

What about getting this up the queue?

The a problem with this game is that all missions end being an arcade game. Sometimes is that i fail at planning so a flashback is throw in front the door and not through the door into the room. Other times, the response of your force when control is leaved to AI is really slow. Or they just kill a terrorist by hitting him when is already cuffed.

Also i dont know how to pick up a cuffed terrorist and get him out of the area, its very painful to go leave 3 people guarding cuffed terrors....

At end you send your user controlled commando in a solo assault mode. Rest of team, if they are not guarding nobody, follows only to cuff the terrors that you dont kill. Few missions forces you to use more guys but they are few.

I like the game idea but i dont find that idea in the gameplay result.

We can't add extras. Studentis' programming experts, you know.

Man - I always thought this game was so hard until I realised you could slow down the time to real time...

Now, instead of "so hard", it's just "hard".

Hi, I have got the game to run without any problems but one question,

is there any way to get the briefing videos to work?

At the moment there is just a black screen. I really enjoyed having the lady give me a briefing when I used to play this game. I notice that the video files are included but they are 1kb .bin files so they need to be looked up somewhere I guess. Are they included in the 22mb download? The other download is 500+mb, is that because it includes the videos and the 22mb one does not?

Thanks for your help.

Well... You managed to answer your own questions, are you?

Yes, video and audio is the main difference between CD and CD-rip, usually.
