I remember playing this one for hours (literally) in college. lol

Got this link from Slashdot. I guess I will now have to open up my Ubuntu (for sandbox purposes) so that I can play this game since IE8 will not run this one. lol

It was one of my first computer experiences with the bleeps for gunfire. Windows hadn't long come out at the time if I remember rightly. I know when I did information technology we started off with works for DOS. Those were the days!

Ubuntu 64 and Firefox 12 and this game isn't working for me; just a blank black box. Not sure what's going on but about to close Ubuntu and open XP again. Sad I am. lol

I actually still have this installed on my PC.

lol; might try to find an installer Rod. Anyway, I'm back in XP world since apparently it won't work in my Ubuntu 64 VM. Won't run it in Win7 since I don't use Win7 for anything but artwork (i.e., I don't browse in Win7; one day I will install Sandboxie in Win7, but I do like that I'm now double-sandboxed protected in XP).

So you run all your programs in a sandboxed sandboxie?

I run Sandboxie in my XP VM. The XP VM is a Sandbox (i.e, can kill the session with a simple x and recover from a saved snapshot in around 5 seconds.). I run Sandboxie inside my XP VM so that is what I mean by double-sandboxed. Every OS update or major update (a Sandboxie update for instance), I crash the session, recover from the last saved snapshot, and commence to install the updates or program, then I create a new snapshot. I know it sound paranoid and tedious but trust me when I tell you that I am pretty much immune to most attacks. I do run a rudimentary anti-trojan (not an anti-virus) program in my XP VM but it only quivered once and I laughed at it because of what I mentioned above. I'm pretty convinced (based on seeing way too many infected PCs since I use to have to repair them) that I came up with a more then fool-proof method for protecting my system, and after nearly 4 years (and only infected Media Militia site tried to do a drive by attack; got all my skulls clip-art from that site and a few other brushes too. I of course laughed at that situation and recovered in around 5 seconds to 10 seconds) I've yet had anything that I was not able to simply recover from in mere seconds. Setting up VMs as Sandboxes for personal protection is the only way to protect your system period Rod. Any other protection is just a false sense of security. Of course this method still relies on a firewall and XP's firewall has been more then adequate for my needs. I do have my Win7 OS protected with MSE and it has a good 2 way firewall but the only time I really worry is the few times I go online to get a G'MIC updates, or check for Photoshop updates or click on the go to website options in the various programs that I run in Win7.

I actually have this game installed on an old PC that I have Win 95 on. I accumulated quite a few games back then and I keep that 'puter just so I can play them occaisionally. I had to load the darn thing from floppys.

floppy's wow, that is a while back.

That's the beauty of Virtual Machines Drac. I actually have a Win98 VM which I use to solely play my Uno game. lol

Win98 should still be able to run those old games Drac (not sure how difficult it will be to create a Win95 VM because of sound drivers and such; was a pain enough for Win98 but I finally managed to do it {no support for Win98; only pretty much XP and above}).
