Hannibal Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 I see that some people have had problems running Combat Mission with windows xp .I think it is shocking that they did not take into acount future operating systems. I would now like to complain about the fact that Combat Missions won't work on my Atari . Hell it won't even fit into the slot . This can not be tolerated. I am now going to see if it runs on my C-64 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When ever the question comes around what was the 1st system a person has played, I say my trusty old Intellivision, and everyone looks at me like I am crazy because they never heard of it. Seriously I have never met a person who has known what one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAZ NZ Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 The problems have been to do with the new 3d card drivers produced by nivida for geforce 2 etc. Has nothign to do with xp matey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 I started with Pong, but gave up on it because the mods were few and far between. Then I got an Atari 2600 when the price dropped to $50. That was my first major entertainment purchase. The kid across the street had an Intellivision, but I didn't really like it except for some wargame that featured moving subs around the globe. You had to use the keypad, which made no sense to me. If it didn't have a joystick I didn't want it. FF to Combat Mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 CM will run on my Mac Plus that I converted to a fishbowl three years ago. It took quite a bit of work to convert it to text mode, though, and I still haven't gotten the Allies to use tungsten ammo when they're supposed to. Here's an example, in which a Pz Ausf G (late) encounters an M4A3(75) Sherman. You'll need to copy and paste it into a new post in order to see it correctly in monospace text. i=>----- --ro oooooo> /ooooo / i=>----- < => --ro oooooo> \ /ooooo o --r i=>----- o oooooo> /o ooo i=>----- oooooo> --r /o ooo oo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember you could only fit about 4 lines on screen at a time. P.S.--That Sea Battle game kicked butt. Probably the best game they ever made and one of the first.

Gyrene Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 I was trying to make CM run on my Sinclair ZX-81, but I ran out of memory after loading only the CM icon. Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to adjust the monitor. The emulators do all that for you automatically. I have found out that keeping to B/W setting looks and works better than trying to use colours. Reminds me when I played my C-64 games with a B/W TV (anybody old enough around here to remember them ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like as in big ha ha! But when I clipped and pasted it into a text editor, and switched to courier, the empty spaces didn't follow along. I've noticed the BBS doesn't like to let you put empty spaces or line breaks in. So I couldn't see it properly till I hit 'reply' to your post and watched it in the little reply window. Don't know if it's the same for anyone else though. The problem is probably due to my running Explorer on an S-100 bus based z-80 system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the old Stetson trick. That might work. However, what about the integrity of the calculation ? You might inadvertantly choose numbers that are less than correct vis-a-vis the CM model thus tainting the outcome in a gamey fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
