"You have an exceptionally attractive credit rating, Mr Harris."
Oh, so THAT'S what they call it in the future. >:)

@Gurgle103 There is a special patch you can find online that fixes the space combat.

@Hellygator yea I have read that the dosbox version will work. I just didn't want to unfold my wallet for it hunting an old copy down when I have the useless version right here that doesn't work lol Thanks for writing back though, I do appreciate it.

@Fantasiaanzu1 Well there's your problem. Go for an original copy of the game and run it with DosBox. I had to adjust some settings in the DosBox config to get it running smoothly. Those changes created a lot of load even on my Core 2 Duo so my solution might not work on a PC with a really weak CPU.

@Hellygator Oh, I've tried it... but failed every time XD
My version is meant for Windows, but I have Vista and it refuses to obey me. T_T

@Fantasiaanzu1 Glad you like it!
I've recorded this with DosBox. Have you tried that program already?
how did you get the deinterlaced video? both the dos and the deluxe versions I have interlace the video

@oceankhayne I didn't deinterlace the video. My captures look exactly as you would expect them. Youtube converted them after the upload ;)

*sighs* I tried getting this to work on windows. Dug up my place to dig out the win 95 version that I'd bought when it first came out... Got it to work except for when I go into the outer space it's lightening fast and unplayable. I'm just hoping there's someone out there that knows how to fix that without me trying to repair and setup a system I'd bought back in the 90's lol

@Gurgle103 Don't use the Win95 Version. You might try to "throttle it down" with dedicated software (there are some programs out there) but i didn't have much success with those in the past.
I recommend using the original DOS Release and DosBox. I had to tweak dosbox.cfg quite extensively to get it to run smoothly nonetheless. I suffered from partial Dataloss earlier this year. Hence i don't have the edited dosbox.cfg anymore but i remember changing the CPU Cycles to 45000 at some point.
