I have GNB 2 through 5 working in the DosBox fine except 5 has no sound. GNB 2 was the best of the litter in my opinion, never owned GNB 1 and GNB 4 looked like it was slapped together by Barbary apes drunk on Guinness. These games were great fun and with a better AI, might have been spectacular.

2 was awesome. Loved trying to stop the Tokyo Express as it tried to land troops and supplies. You also had to be very good at getting your transports into Henderson at night, and unloading your supplies and getting out before daylight broke and the Japanese Air Raids came in.

I remember the first time I played and I landed during the day and ended up losing half my fleet of transports to some Japanese torpedo bombers. How much of a challenge was it to save a transport ship with only 2 repair crews after sustaining a torpedo hit? Man that was so much fun though.

Is there anyway by chance you could send me the files for at least 2? 3 and 4 would be appreciated, it's however you feel about it though. I'm pretty sure all the games are abandonware now, but sites like Amazon still have them for sale although they always have 0 in stock.
