You can buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Strategy-First...3044066&sr=1-5

And just get SC for 15 bucks USA.

I am running it well on windows 7 64 bit. But some sounds like crew member sounds, sonar sounds, torpedo\missile launch sounds are missing. Also no in game music but music is ok in main menu. Also the training mans sounds are ok and all the button sounds. Is this normal? In the sound options menu it says 'Attempt to support 3d sound in hardware failed'. Did anyone experienced this issue before?
Thank you in advance...

Veeeeeeery late reply.

I had been playing SC on windows 7 for 2+ years now.
No problems at all!

But behold, two days ago it started crashing my pc completely. The whole pc needs to be restarted after 5 minutes of playing every time now.
I did not do any windows updates in the meantime, i seriously have no clue why after years of troublefree playing, it fails now.

Reinstalled SC more than 3 times after, it kept on failing.
I looked for new Geforce Videodrivers and at least i can use the default SC again, but when i install SCXII is crashes even before i can start a mission.

I am kind of depressed now, because i cannot see other alternatives at the moment. There are hardly any nuclear sub sims.

Hey, so when I played Tom Clancy SSN recently (talk about old school!) I installed it on an XP operating system installed on Virtual Box. I have gotten Sub Command to work on Windows 7 but, as others have stated, I sometimes get weird blinking and graphical glitches, and then the intro movie doesn't always play sound, which is the best part! I love the Sub Command intro movie over the Dangerous Waters one... ANYWAY! If you have an old copy of XP laying around, I made a video tutorial for how to install a virtual operating system on VirtualBox.



I myself have not tried this method, but if it worked fine for Tom Clancy SSN, I think it should work for Sub Command!

Linux may also be an option, but that is not something I expect the every day user to be proficient in.

Thanks!
That sounds like a good alternative alright, as long as it can make me play!
:-)

I will mingle a bit more with windows and see if i can locate the issue. It is a bit sad that the windows eventviewer cannot mention it, because it crashes hard.
But if i cannot find a way i will definately give that virtualisation a go.

Alright, i am giving up after the eighth reinstall / attempt to fix. I have just started installing that virtualbox.
