Tom-boy
Anyone had luck with this? I downloadd it from OldGames. com and it's supposd to be the full, complete thing. OK, when I start, I get the intro without sound (even with VSDM), start menu and then it starts complaining for not having enough memory and whatnot.

To load or not-to-load a version of DirectX?

SnapperOne
I am attempting to load Sudden Strike. The install is asking me if I want to install DirectX 7. 0a. 1) How do I tell what version of DirectX is already loaded? And, 2) If the version of DirectX I have is newer than 7.

What's new in ACT 3.0?

ConQueso
Does anyone know if it has any new fixes that might make previously unplayable or buggy games work properly? Or does it just change the interface or something non-essenctial in regards to compatibility? ;(

Gunship! multiplayer bug... Fixable?

ConQueso
Anyone know anything about this game? Here's the cool part: you can play multiplayer, one person the pilot, the other person the copilot of the same helicopter. The problem is that for some reason, the pilot HUD isn't showing the direction of the copilot's aim.

Fullthrottle MAC version on Windows XP?

shassouneh
Hi All, I'm having trouble finding the game: LucasArts fullthrottle. All the places I checked out (lucasarts. com, ebay) want ridiculous amounts for it. I'm sorry but I don't thinks its worth it to pay anywhere from $14 to $25 for a 1995 game.
