Silent Hunter and Win 10

Howdy!

Probably a real strange question, but I just got a new computer using 64-bit Win 10. I used DosBox on my old comp to run Silent Hunter 1. Can you run SH 1 on Win 10? (Don't ask why, I just like the old game.

)

SH1 is a great game even with it's flaws.

Would make a great console game too

Howdy!

Thanks! I will check it out.

I Love the game, specially the campaigns with random scenarios. I have SH II but it doesn't compare.

Howdy!

Downloaded DosBox 0.74 that worked before with XP Pro on my old comp. Now, I can't get the game to load. 16 Bit and 64 Bit incompatible apparently. I tried to use DosBox to install the program but running into problems?

Am I screwed?

Believe me it works! You just have to adapt the DosBox a bit, or maybe it is even playable directly, adjusting the starting *.exe or *.com file via right-click and then compatibility..
