This Game Was Ment For DOS, So Even If Youre Hardware Is Fine You Need A DOS Emu, To Simulate DOS Drivers

The sound won't work for me. I changed the sound options to what I wanted and turned the sound on, but I don't hear anything. Please help.

if you have problems running these games try down load D-FEND Reloaded brill front end and joy to key i found best to work pad or stick games.
kermur added this comment :
pft: do some research, and figure it out. Have you tried DosBOX? Back when these games were current, people had to be savvy to use computers. Now any bum can fire up their pre-loaded systems. If you do the research and educate yourself, you'll find it can be fun- and you'll stop being an ignorant whiner.

Hmm... I still can't get warm with that game...
I don't know why, all people told me how great it is (and other overhailed fanboy stuff), but after playing other, more improved games of those days like Doom or Heretic, it was a real step back while testing it the very first time... And never played it again...
Sounds sad, but that's life... ;)
BTW, as a guy from germany I only can positively mention the fun factor for ourselves related to the goodminded, but totally failed tries by the guys at id Software to speak german phrases for the soldiers!
'Mein Leben!!!'
Oh my god... I was more lying and laughing under the table than enjoying the game itself! :D

Is this the full version?
Does it include the other levels after stage 1-9?
Patton added this comment :
Makes me think of of the Nazi's now occupied in New mexico, They are bragging that they are there to shoot and arrest us if martial law happens.
Octung!

Beautiful game. I never get tired playing the game. The many episodes and multiple levels lends credence to the beauty. I applaud the creators for a job well done.
Goxon added this comment :
I have always loved this game and I never seem tired playing it. The several episodes with different levels lends credence to its perfectness. Very Fine game. I give kudos to the creators.

This game is a classic. The inspiration to 3d fps as we know it, it still far outshines many recent games of the genre.

I remember when I first loaded this up on my Wang 286 machine. I didn't know what to expect. Needless to say, I was awestruck! I still have fun playing it. Enjoyed playing around with the mapedit and making my own levels. Lots of hours put into this gem! One of the most solid of all the abandonware games!
