Wanted to fire up this classic and it's not working. Seems to run, but screen goes to 800x600 and there's audio but still on windows desktop. Worked fine in Win 7 64-bit.
Can anyone confirm? Thanks.
A classic? You mean a classic piece of garbage. I wouldn't expend too much effort getting it running.
Not sure what makes this game a classic. It's pretty much just a database you interact with via a world map. The guy who wrote the AI left the studio before the game was done and that pretty much sealed the games fate. Superpower 2 was even worse and it destroyed the studio.
The game starts, then jumps to desktop at 800x600 but is still running in the background, with audio. I run normally at a resolution of 1680x1050.
Anyone seen this before or have a solution? Thanks.

Yup. I like the unit designer.

When I first got my own PC around 15 years ago, this was one of the first games I got. I did find it frustrating but I like to revisit old games.
The only fun part about this game, and I'm thinking more from Superpower 2, was starting a nuclear exchange. graphically, it was very well done. Everything else unfortunately was an abysmal failure and disappointment. Nothing really worked.
I like revisiting old games too, but usually only good ones. O0
Sorry I don't have any suggestions for your problem.
Ian C, make sure you set the compatibility options before running (right click on the .exe file). Also, I've found that using Res-o-matic helps in these cases sometimes. Here is a link (http://www.inspectmygadget.com/2008/02/25/windows-software-change-the-resolution-of-a-single-program-with-res-o-matic/) that talks about it and where to get it.

Thanks Mike. I already tried the admin/compatibility stuff. Was wondering if anyone knew a bit more.
Will try out the link -thanks.
