As with No Remorse several months ago, this has just been re-released on Good Ol' Games (GOG.com) today for 6 bucks! (It also includes some bonus content, including plot and script texts, history and lore texts, wallpaper and artwork, etc.)
I got this up and running in virtual box. Is there any reason why the controls are so awkward? Or is that just how the game was written. At the moment I'm using keyboard numpad because the mouse is barely usable.
@RikusLategan No, the controls are just genuinely terrible. I have no idea why they chose the control scheme they did. They can be reconfigured in some emulators like DOSBox, but it's a real hassle. I'm tempted to pick up a 360 wired controller and use JoyToKey just to play these games because I really want to like them.
Christ, I remember having the demo of No Regret., It contained every weapon and a shortened version of the story (3 levels or so) and it was still the third best ever game I've played.
Does anyone remember an easter egg room on this game where there was a ton of ammo / weapons to pick up and a strange cutscene where you'd fight like a demon / Diablo ish looking character??? Can anyone find a video of that for me or confirm it was this game that it happened on? I remember it vividly but can't find it anywhere! Thanks...
@CPUT99 It was the moment you needed to mine the mine. When you see a walkway and the place where you need to put the mines. You can also get up on there. THere will be a pentagram on the floor. (I will try to find it for ya).
@CPUT99 i only remember, if you entered the cheatcodes that worked in the prequel (i think it was "jassica16" or "jessica16"), you were teleported into room with multiple endbosses...
Coolest thing is that Crusader shares a universe with several other Origin games. Tri-Optimum from System Shock was one of the mega corporations that merged to form the WEC, and No Remorse came with a WEC periodical that mentioned SHODAN and Citadel. Also, in Wing Commander's backstory, the Terran Confederation replaced the WEC after the war ended.
I got mine working too, love replaying this great game... best thing about this game (besides the music) was how you could interact with your environment, shooting chairs and other things to reveal secrets.... top notch for the 90s!
sweet looking game. The hero guy looks like a red Boba Fett. I know the original was on the PS ONE and Sega Saturn, but not the sequel. Will Dosbox will work with Windows 7?
Yes, it runs on all Windows versions since XP and x86 or x64 - should be no problem. I'm playing Crusader on Windows 7 x64 with DOSBox and it's flawless.
The only flaw I could attribute to this game is that sometimes the screen just doesn't orient properly so you could see all the threats. However, the game relies heavily on strategy instead of action, so most of the time one finds the concept to work just fine. Control is a bit messy at first, but with time you could really benefit from the game options to the fullest.
This game is one of my finest childhood memories, and I intend to get back to it as soon as possible. The newer games just suck
Wonderfull video,please tell -me how you run this game,i played it long time ago in my 486 2xtimes and i REALLY want to play again but i'm not getting any luck even on Dosbox,please can you help-me?
i loved this game so much as a kid back in nine six i still have some gruesome drawings/comics i made back in the day based on this game! the animated cutscenes were epic too. with Origins gone is there no chance of another sequel or remkae to this classic series?
One of my all time favorite action games. Well ahead of it's time in game play and visuals. Saucy, you my friend are an amazing player.Great job on this video man.
Nice video, I finally got mine up and running. That part aroung 1:34, for me I get no access. How come after controlling the robot, your panel is accessable?
I remember i was a little kid and playing this game. My uncle installed it on my dad's comp, taught me how to use DOS and other stuff. It was fun as hell, i thought its like best game in the world at that time.
Why the hell did EA put Wing Commander on Xbox Live Arcade, taking a huge dump all over a property that can't work in that format, when this was available? This would be pretty much ideal for an Arcade title.
Is there anyway to play these games on my laptop now.? I found these games the other day but it wont run on my laptop...from what i can remember it requires DOS to run....is there any way round this on windows Vista???these games are absolute classics!!!!
Okay, I'm sure this is asked all the time... I used to have the CD, found this game on the Net, but I can never get the cinematics to run... I'm using DosBox, so didn't know if there was some trick to making them work, or if we need the actual CD...
Then You have a ripped version. The original weights about 600MB. The cinematics are on the CD, and the normal game requires the CD to play. Since i should not advocate "piracy", i advice checking up on EBay, it surfaces there often, and is quite cheap. You could also wait for GOG to re-release that game. Too bad they don't do physical products, a Crusader box on a shelf is an instant respect artifact.;)
Oh this is a REAL game, and a sure classic, 2D and has more action than a lot of modern 3D Third person shooters. If they Only remade it by putting on better graphics, would be a HIT.
Ahh.. great game! Wish I could play it again. Great job posting this playthrough. Would have been just a bit better if you didn't skip the cut scenes :)
Memories! Is there anywhere where I could download this and manage to run it, relatively easily? If you could give me some advise, I'd be most greatful, man.
None of the Crusader games were designed for Windows. Fortunately, there *is* an easy way to play these and other old games on modern computers. Google "Dosbox." For instructions on getting it up and running, google "Echo Sector." This Crusader fan site has a tech support forum with a stickied Dosbox guide.

You need to move the robot over a secret floor plate. The game gives you two subtle clues:
1) The plate isn't properly aligned with the rest of the floor.
2) There's an elevator sign on a wall near the plate.
