So I finally found an XP installer for FC, and after installing it and setting compatibility to Win98, I was able to dive back into the world of large-scale naval warfare. Launched the first campaign mission, but got bored and quit. Did successfully shoot down two Russian bombers trying to kill my North Sea carrier battle group in a ridiculously short and easy Single Mission, though
.
Will be fun to have this game during downtime at folk high school. She's strictly speaking not a gaming computer, and the only other title I have installed is Dominions 3 (a smashing game, by the way
).
By the way, I love looking at the system requirements of old games:
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- Windows 95 or Windows 98.
- DirectX 6
- Pentium 200Mhz, or faster Intel processor (A Pentium II 300Mhz or faster CPU is recommended).
- 32 MB of RAM (64 MB of RAM is recommended, especially for Multiplayer hosting).
- 3D graphics accelerator required. Must be compatible with one of the following: Glide 2.43 (Voodoo I and Voodoo Rush); Glide 2.5 (Voodoo II); or Direct3D. Please see list of supported chipsets (below).
