I was wondering if anyone had purchased this version of the xwing and tie fighter game. It was a 2 disc bundle with updated graphics that was designed to run on windows 95.I seem to remember getting it to run under XP, but I currently have Vista64 and am having no luck getting it to work. Anyone know how to do this? I was also trying to see about requesting STEAM put this as one of their purchases, but am unsure how. Any advise would be hugely appreciated!!! Gratz!

Turning off the User Account Control allowed Jedi Knight: DF2 to be playable, but shortly after getting into the bar the picture goes psycodellic with bright colors and eventually bombs. I started DF1 which was working fine before with UAC off and it eventually did the same effect but didn't bomb. I could hit escape and return to game and most the colors would restore, but by doing this again at some point the game would crash.

Doing the cache check under steam-game-properties turned out all okay.

Also, all my drivers are current, CCC10.3

It will work, and it's a great upgrade even if it's far out-dated. I run the E8400 at 3Ghz and watch the benchmarks very closely and I'm nowhere near impressed enough with the newer chips to trade up yet. It's a good chip!

That's pretty lousy. I was considering buying GoW for PC since I don't have any of the consoles, but if it's just the one I may as well save up for the system. Unless there might be an emulated version worth getting like the old nes games??? Have any of you got the PC version? How did you like it?

Yes, it's a 40" LED/LCD samsung, 16:9, 1920x1080p tv/monitor using HDMI.

I recently got the dark forces 2 and quake 3 games with a collection purchase on STEAM, but all the games work except for these. They'll start up, and you can read the menus okay, but after the gameplay starts the screen goes all outta wack. It's as if the initial image drawn doesn't keep refreshing as things are your sight moves, so images blur all together. It's a difficult thing to explain. One other thing is that the video clips in dark forces 2 is a tiny box instead of full screen. It's funky because Dark Forces 1 works fantastic and everything is full screen, but the 2nd installment is fudged! Anyone have a work around this? Thanks!

Anyone hear if gears of war 2 or 3 will ever come out on PC?

I've played Oblivion, Morrowind, but to me the real game that bests both of these is Daggerfall. Both games were dumbed down after Daggerfall. Daggerfall had a far more involved leveling system unique to specific abilities and weapons. The other two were simplified badly in morrowind and worse in oblivion. Daggerfall had several combinations of weapons and armor to equip, as well as clothes. The other two don't. Daggerfall had atmospheric effects to terrify you, i.e. a screaming lich far down a dark hall, or the sounds of scorpions when you don't have the ability to kill quickly or resist paralysis. Daggerfall you could scale walls and talk to people with limitless questions, the other two limited what you could ask horribly in morrowind and disgustingly in oblivion. I could keep going. If graphics is your fetish, then enjoy games like oblivion. if you want to be enveloped in one of the greatest, truest rpg games... reload Daggerfall.

I have dosbox, and I'm fluent in basic programming, but I can't find the autoexec file anymore to mount the drives. Also, when I did run Xcom before, the sound wouldn't work, and most the time I couldn't get the game to work. One point I did but I have no clue what I did because it was an accident when it all of a sudden started working. Have no clue what I did or how I did it. Was hoping someone who has gotten it to work could tell me.

btw, that compatibility mode thing in windows has never ever worked for me on any games. And I have a WIDE variety of old dos games and windows 95, 98 types.

LED LCDs are far more reliable and for the most part use less power than CCFL LCDs. I worked on them for 2 years with all the major brands. I can clearly see the difference. With TVs tho you have to be more careful. Even the 240hz Tvs aren't up to par to eliminate motion blur, even with the enhancements like smooth motion and such. LCDs (LED and CCFLs)would have to be more like 600+hz to eliminate this. Only TVs currently that high are plasma, but now you're talking about wear and tear, high power consumption, excessive heat, and burn in even on the latest models.

If you're going after a monitor, LED LCD is top notch.
