Matrix Holiday Sale

UV is an older game, at least 10 years or more so Win8 may not play nice with it. Are there any Win 95/98/xp compatibility options you have tried yet?

I tried compatibility modes but they didn't work either. I finally tried windowed mode (-w switch) and it works better but the window it's in is too small for me play it comfortably.

I'm sorry for recommending it then. I played this in Win 7 but not yet on my Win 8 machine.  :'(

Oh, no, don't be sorry! It does work and I will be able to play it at some point. I have a couple of older laptops around here somewhere.  :)

Or if you have an extra monitor and cable you can set up a second screen with lower resolution to make the game window appear bigger and then fling the window onto it and play.

I use a virtual PC for all my older games, and just isolate it so it dosnt connect to the net, you have setting in each virtual PC to disable the network adapter , you can use vware player , vitual box and so on , I use them to play away team one of the best star trek games I ever played

Just a reminder that today is the last day of the sale.....probably the first year in a long time that I didn't pick up a single Matrix sale item....

I bought one title, had a coupon for storms of steel so picked that up to complete my conflict of heroes collection. The least i've bought in a very long time.

Same here.  At the moment, I own every Matrix/Slitherine title I want to play and/or am likely to play at any point in the foreseeable future.

Yep, I didn't buy anything either as the only game I'm interested in right now is Hannibal: Terror of Rome and it wasn't on sale.

[JudgeDredd]

Nothing for me either. Like the rest of you, anything I wanted, I've got.

The only thing I bought - as a Christmas present, was WitW...nothing from the sale.

The last thing I bought from Matrix (through Steam) was Flashpoint Campaigns and that was a re-buy as opposed to a new purchase. I can't remember the last one before that.

I'm not even sure there's anything on the horizon...apart from Brother Against Brother - which never seems to be any closer to release (though they are often keeping their cards close to their chest), nothing in Coming Soon peaks my interest

[Tuna]

I grabbed Civil War 2.. was looking at that and Flashpoint, but since I enjoyed ACW 1, I figured couldn't go wrong to get the upgrade.

[republic]

I'm really considering pulling the trigger on Flash Point Campaigns Red Storm....though I promised myself no new games for a long while.

I picked up Tiller's Napoleonic game for nostalgia more than anything else.

[ArizonaTank]

I told myself there was nothing on sale that I wanted.  But then based on a friends recommendation I picked up Decisive Campaigns Blitz and Case Blue.  Glad I did.
