Clancy's Politika on Windows 7

[Red October1984]

How do i get this to run? I used to like this game but now cant get it to run on my Windows 7 PC. :hmmm:

Wow, I haven't heard of this game, sounds kind of cool as a concept!

However you might have trouble with that, since it's a Win95 game... what version of Win7 do you have? Have you tried running it as admin and/or in older-windows emulation mode?

I have run as admin, started in win 95 mode, etc.

Im running Home Premium Win7.

People will say that this plays like the game RISK. I more or less agree. I used to have it. I cant get it to run now. :wah:

Unfortunately that's common for games that were originally designed for Win95-2000. Win7 just does not do them, most of the time :down:

One way would be to drop it as a suggestion to gog.com - they've done an excellent job porting over many a game from that era to modern systems. I actually hope that they eventually get around to a lot of the classic Clancy games...

The only other idea I would have is trying to run it on a virtual PC. However it's been a long time since I've done anything with PC emulation, so I couldn't tell you the first thing about it - might want to do some research on it, though!

Uh...ok. :-?

I'll mess around and try and get it to work. If i do, I'll drop you a line.

Ive just recently started playing The Cardinal Of The Kremlin on DOSBox. Works like a charm. It is a very good one. :up: You should check it out.

I got it to install!!! But, the version i bought online requires a CD to be in the Drive.....

:shifty:

Registered just to remember that JAVA is required to play this game...
(and to say HELLO!, from an old time sub sims fan which no longer plays. Good old times...)
