Well, I've got the First Decade Pack so things might be slightly different. But I've heard that all FD does with Red Alert (and C&C95) is enable Win95 compatability mode (just like you could do manually) for them to work under XP. As I said, they run flawlessly for me. I also installed the 1.01 patch, so I didn't even get the dreaded "Soviet Videos don't play" bug.

I've played all IE and C&C games (apart from Generals) under SP2 without any problems. Don't know about Fallout or the Kotors...

Nope, not even that. The old M&M world was called 'Erathia', whereas the new games (both HoMM5 and DMoMM) are all set in 'Ashan'. So Ubi really did just acquire the name; although - in theory - they could still release games set in Erathia if they wanted to, I think.

Don't know how much anticipation there is for this game here, but for anyone interested there's a new preview up right here.

Part 2 is up, btw.

Oh boy, here we go... 10/10 does not mean the game is perfect!!! No game is perfect, as you say, but when you've got a scale of 1 - 10 it'd pretty stupid never to use the 10, wouldn't it?!? I mean, it's not a difficult concept...

Waht???

Ah, ok, cool. I did play The Urquan Masters for about 2hrs and it seemed helluva fun. Should get back to playing it again at some point, really...

Oh, and thanks.

Does this in any way compare to Galactic Civilisations 2 gameplay-wise? If so, which one's the better game?

Yeah, there is that, but I find the MSViewers better to view MSOffice documents in their original format. OpenOffice sometimes has difficulties properly converting documents, but it's still my primary Office programme.

How did people ever manage to beat the original C&C?!? It's so frikkin' hard! I'm on Nod Mission 8 where you start with 8 machine gunners and 4 rocket soldiers and have to first kill some infantry and a medium tank ( ! ) before selling your old base to use the engineers to capture an enemy GDI base. This then immediately gets attacked by tanks and air strikes before you've even built up your defenses. I suck at this game... Have started playing Red Alert on Easy instead. :">

I'm just here to say that Brecht sucks. Friedrich D

Oh well, seems like I'm the only one who disliked that level then. Maybe I should just replay the game to have another look... Or... Does anyone know how I can get the X-Wing and/or TIE Fighter Collector's Editions to run in XP?

Interesting. I thought that mission was dreadful; good idea, but bad execution. Left a bad taste in my mouth after an otherwise really good game (I especially liked the 'family missions'). Ah well, to each their own, I guess... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You must have crashed a lot <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes and no. Admittedly, it took me a while to figure out I could just shoot the pipes instead of dodging them, but after that it was smooth sailing. The mission was still ****, though...

Ah, thanks.

Sorry, have to ask: What's FR6?
