Perhaps Gremlin missed an opportunity here. By keeping as true to the original board-game they missed the chance to make some improvements. The whole reliance on the roll of the dice is frustrating. If facing an enemy at point blank range then surely a 99% hit would be more appropriate than relying purely on luck. Missions are all very similar (shoot as many aliens as possible)

"ctrl+f10" to unlock cursor works when played with "dosbox"

click and drag the "crack" file to dosbox icon then type "crusade" and hit enter. when asked for words from manual , just hit "enter". when game starts hit "ctrl+f10" to move mouse.

to "unlock" the cursor/mouse just click "ctrl+f10" , you will now be able to move the hand around.enjoy!!!

I suggest you should use a program called D-Fend, it is a front end for dos-box that handles all the setup and install issues for an old dos game, use the wizard setup in the program, go through the steps and you will be playing most dos games with ease. The Dos version of Space Crusade is really good, but on newer computers the mouse control is twitchy, I was just playing the Amiga version which is my favorite with an Amiga emulator called UAE (ultimate Amga Emulator) once you set up the emulator right and get the roms in the right spot it runs great. I did not know that there was an add on disk for the Amiga version and I been playing it for years. I own an Amiga and used to play it back in the 90's. This game really has good replayability. Great game.
I bought the board game years ago from E-Bay, because it was never released here in USA. Back in teh 90's I searched high and low for it. I do own the board game of Hero Quest and the expansions for it I bought it from Toys are Us back in the early 90's. Those two games are excellent.

There is an easy installer located on:
https://www.old-games.com/download/3221/space-crusade

Here is a walkthrough for those, like me, that distrust direct links from sites I haven't used before:

1-Free users are limited to 2 dloads a day and they will auto download once you click their download link, quick links usually top right side of page, after 15 seconds give or take. (Keep note that downloading the game and manual will count as 2 separate downloads and max you out for that day)

2-At the bottom of the linked page you will see "How to run this game on modern Windows PC?" Click it to see the "Download - Easy Setup (2.28 MB)"

I hope this helps anyone having issues

If you like the game style of Space Crusade I have 2 recommendations:

1-Hero Quest https://www.myabandonware.com/game/heroquest-169

I can't seem to get the DOSbox version to work.
I used to know my way around DOS so I'm not brand new to it, but I just can't figure out how to mount the game

I run the SC.bat version and the game starts just fine but i cant move the cursor in-game. It registers when i click but i cant move it. Does anyone else have a similar problem?
