Sharky_Bob Illustrator Member Registered: 03/12/07 Posts: 380 Loc: Wastelands	What title says: Both games are re-released at GOG.com, compatible with Win7 and new hardware.

IIRC, DI bundled both DOS and Windows 95 versions in the same box. I'm sure I have my CDs for these around somewhere, but GoG may have itself another sale if I can't find them. _________________________ -Home Fries XBL: The Mad Gonzo The average Naval Aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring.

HomeFries F22 Air Dominance Project Member Registered: 01/01/01 Posts: 1294	Thanks, Recluse. I may just have to find the CDs and download the 3DFX patches, unless 3DFX works for DOS as well. _________________________ -Home Fries XBL: The Mad Gonzo The average Naval Aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring.

Recluse Mediocrity Above All! Senior Member Registered: 12/30/00 Posts: 4753 Loc: Randolph, NJ	No, the 3DFX only worked on the Windows version. I have the Hind CD with Windows/DOS/3DFX versions and could never get it (3dFX) to work with any combination of Glide Wrappers on XP or on a V5 5500 card under Win98. Some others have been successful with 3DFx HIND so there may be a chance, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope. I also tried patching the Apache with the 3DFX addon patches with no success. Hind ran pretty well under Win XP in the native graphics mode, but I seem to recall that the DOS version in DOSBOX was actually more stable.

Sharky_Bob Illustrator Member Registered: 03/12/07 Posts: 380 Loc: Wastelands	Tried it at work - man, i forgot how fun this game is. I still keep fond memories of playing the Afghanistan campaign years ago. Great games are just GREAT! _________________________ "I'm a fuel injected suicide machine.

Eugene Senior Member Registered: 09/15/04 Posts: 4459 Loc: Oregon	I used to be able to get the 3Dfx version to run, and the graphics improvement is significant. However I can't get it to load any longer, either due to a card change from 260 to a 460, or a similar change to a slightly newer driver. Even more disappointing, I can't get the 3Dfx version to run on a retro Voodoo5/Win98/P600 machine. Too bad - it's still a decent sim with spending time with. _________________________ Eugene CoreDuo G620 ASUS P8Z68-V PRO BFG N460 GTX Cyclone 1GD5 OC Forceware 301.42 X-Fi Xtreme Gamer WinXP Pro 2 gig RAM Saitek X52 PRO.

I may just stick with EECH for my graphics fix, and go with software mode for retro fix. _________________________ -Home Fries XBL: The Mad Gonzo The average Naval Aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring.
