This question has been asked ten thousand times before. The answer is always the same:
Use DosBox. Or VDMSound. Whichever works better on your system.
You can get them from our programs page.
Before you start complaining about being unable to use them, read the godforsaken readme files and appropriate FAQ's in Troubleshooting and Troubleshooting Archive forums.

Found a game very simular to Xcom

Its called Fallout Tactics - Damnation its good.
However it is a modern game and does not support dosbox, vdmsound. its runs under windows XP so there is no reason to try run it under any other program anyways.

There are so many weapons to choose from, you can even plant land mines, timed explosive, remote explosives, you have a choice of loads of grenades (Acid greandes are ace k: ) Heavy weapons, Small weapons like sniper rifles, hunting rifles, pistols (alot of guns comes with diffrent ammunition like in xcom :eg.. Armour piercing, hollow points - no incidenary ammunition so far though <_< ) energy weapons , drive diffrent vehicles and alot more. there are so many diffrent enemies too its insane.

Definately something to look into if you like Xcom

Roadkill, if the game is still sold then obtaining it the way you described is warez.

We don't condone warez here, consider it a verbal warning.

Hi everybody.

Reading thru the thread, I didn't see anyone mention the free $$$ bug in the game.

To do it you assign an object to be manufactured, hit enter, then click the beaker with an X thru it to unassign the manufacture, then assign it again, then unassign it, etc.

Each time you do it, you get the $$$ in your bank for the cost to manufacture the item. e.g. the alien invisible shield costs $2000 to build, you get $2000 in the bank each time you do this. Two minutes of this, and you have an extra $100,000 in the bank.



I played this game when it came out years ago, it's great this site has the game available to download. I use a mix of turn based and RT missions. More RT missions as the game goes on and I have shields for the agents. Also use RT when I raid Marsec or Megapol with stun grapples to steal armour and weapons early in the game.

Hi, im really new at this and some help would be nice. I downloaded DOSbox went through the whole set up on the tutorial but when it gets to the point where i have to type "Install" it says "Illeagle command: Install". After failing that way i installed the VDMsound thing and when i right clicked and clicked Run with VDMS it says access is denied... any ideas? and fyi the game works fine but the sound doesn't work
