Just run the thing in DOSBox. VDMSound keeps crashing on it anyway.

I installed in Vista no problem... except for the fact that the installer insisted I only had 105 megs of free space on my mounted hard drive... so I could only install "standard" >.<

Adding -freespace 700 parameter to your mount command will make DOSBox report 700 megabytes of free space to the installer.:ok:

That helps a lot, thanks! I'll keep that in mind for furthur additions to the mix... like Quake :)

Oh, and all I did was make / take an ISO of the disc, mount it in dosBox with imgmount, and installed off that, no problems (except the size limit, oh well).

Wow. I like the new RTS style. Has anyone seen those weird yellow things (i'm new in this game). They look disturbingly like headcrabs from halflife2. I got this for free!!!!!!!!! only problem is music and sound doesn't work. But free stuff is fine with me.


I forgot to add the n in base commander. Now I'm stuck like this.

You should try running the game either with VDMSound or DosBox. :ok:

You mean Brainsuckers? They're a pain through most of the game... but wait till you get to Poppers! Now those are helluva nasty...

Yup that's right. (played for a good amount of time) Brainsuckers look like headcrabs (but with differences). And correction... I hate poppers more than brainsuckers now. poppers are tough only if you charge in. poppers don't seem to patrol so if you crawl around and wait for aliens to come in you can pick off all the others so you can dispose of poppers without the auto AI being distracted. poppers seem to get you only if your men are busy fighting off something else.

hint: pressing 1 selects all of squad one so that you can order more than one person (may have already have been mentioned)
