You should try to list your computer specs and which program / OS you are trying to run the game in :bye:

yeah its a great game... anyone got a scanned manual? I own the game in a OEM version and it's no manual there.

Anyone figured out how to play over network, it think you should be able to do it...?

i found the game doesnt work with dosbox at all

to run with windows XP SP1 i did:

Install VDMS
right click on it, compatibilty settings, 800x640 resolution, 256colours and then the last one "disable someting"

should work fine. remember to run setup to set up your sound cards : just use sound blaster 16ones. seems to work with my sound card

I thought I would clear up some misinformation. The version uploaded here has some problems you need to fix before you can play it, no matter how you run the game.

1. Stability -- the dos4gw.exe in this game is terrible and causes crashes. Download a new dos4gw, preferably 1.97 or newer.

2. Sound -- for some reason, that sound files aren't in the proper directory. Copy all the dlls, ani, tab, and other non-exe files to the DATA subdir. That enables sounds.

VDMS notes (win 2k, xp)
Disable MIDI and joystick
Cap dos timer rate
Slow down the cpu according to how fast it seems
Enable VESA video

This works to get the game running and with sound as well. Only the "win" screen is jerky.

I used to play Syndicate on my Macintosh LC575 back when I was 13, boy did it corrupt me. I used to go around dropping time bombs in large crowds, and when everyone was running around in terror after the explosions I would pick them off with gauss guns. Bodies everywhere!

Me and some friends have gotten together and are making an RPG inspired by Syndicates gameplay, if anyone is interested. The working title is "Three Cities".

I have a version of the game that seems to work perfectly. The sound seems perfect and I get a nice fps.

If anyone would like, I'm sure we can talk about it, p2p .

One thing that is funny about my Syndicate is that it's twice the size as the one yuo guys are hosting here, with twice as many files.
