Sierra Fast Attack

[Horace]

I was wondering if anyone out there knows how to get the old Sierra Fast Attack game to work on Windows XP. I can't get the program to even install even in command line.

Now that is a game from a while back with it's sleek looking cut scenese when your torpedoe impatcs the target. Honestly I haven't played that game since my Win 95 days and have no idea how to get it to run with XP. Good luck. :up:

It works great on my laptop but locks up at different times in the game on my desk top. Could never figure out why. I thought it was a mouse issue somebody else said it was a sound issue. :hmm:

It works Great with dosbox, but i don't play it.

Fast Attack is without a doubt my favorite modern subsim. (Sorry DW :( ) It had a spectacular interface and the best scripted missons I've ever played in a sim. I know that dynamic missions are all the rage these days but there is something to be said for a great scripted campaign. :yep: Unfortunately I never was ever to play the entire game, it was as unstable as just about any other game I've ever played. :(

Hmmmm....I wonder if I can remember where I put the box...all this talk about Fast Attack is making me miss turning that key on the TLAM/TASM board :up:

I remeber this game, i played it for yonks! If ive got it right wasn't this the game where the missions had a 2hr timelimit - best modern subsim until sub commander & dw came along.

[Onkel Neal]

Correct on the 2 hour time limit, but John found a fix for that, check the Tactics section.

FA was my first modern sub game and a gift from a girl friend ;) but I could never finished this game, in the middle of the campaign (mission 20 ?) the game crashed to desktop because of loading corrupt mission data from the CD. I had returned the CD to the publisher and had gotten a new one but these had however the same error :cry:

[The Noob]

Neal, the "Time Fix" for fast Attack seems to be not present. I get a 404 error if i try to Download it. :cry:

And if i try the "Right Click Manuver" i end up with a Corrupt File.

:damn:

[Bort]

I'm all for a Fast Attack 2.0, who's with me? Sierra is still around- and making excellent games (The Swat series) Why not make a new FA? (I know I'm only dreaming but they really were on to something with Fast Attack) :rock:

I'm going to reload it tonight.

[Onkel Neal]

I smell a Fast Attack Revival!

This a game where the plotting board ruled when it came to torpedo evasion. I have tried to use a notepad with titles like DW and SC, but it isn't the same. I like DW but FA tops out for me as a Subsim in the modern era.
