I miss Red Baron 3D. I miss flyng along the train tracks, and blowing up nice juicy trains! The engines go with a bang! :D

I never did get it to look good on XP though. I do have an older PIII 700, SBLive!, GeForce 3, 10 GB HD, and a tank of a board (440 BX chipset) sitting in the closet. I can probably load Win98SE on it and get that game rolling once more!

Getting the game to work is a bit of a headache:shifty:
I've followed the instructions but the superpatch overwrites the exe and it says I need the CD, i tried copying the old exe over it and it just comes up messed up. Plus the colors are messed up.

uninstall, then re install. When it asks for the cd, click the top right "maltese cross" 6 times, and "Hey, Presto!" the game will start.

Apparently it also works better if you do the "full install":up:

I was looking at one of those websites and it showed a new game called Knights of Europe, but when I looked it up online it said it was cancelled, that's too bad.:-?
