I'd heard so much about Red Baron I went to Amazon about a year ago and found a copy. What a dissapointment to find it wouldn't play worth a damn on Windows xp even with the addl xp mod(forgot the name)
Question is all the thought and inqinuity that went into a game 15 years ago that made it so immersive even with antiquated graphics. Just like right now you guys are comparing an antique game that excelled in so many areas.
Why are the new developers dropping the ball again and again. Yeah I know it's all about $. Just is kind of a let down to think that games like RB really had their act together and something as potentially awesome as SHIII is a let down in so many areas.
