Okay is SH1 still alive? Do you play?

Just moved it over to my new win7 64bit laptop with DOSBox, runs great.

I don't know the guy personally who wrote DOSBox, but if I ever run into him in a bar, drinks are on me...

Well I just tried that using the D-Fend Reloaded version and it works up until your in mission, then the sounds are gone. I'll try later again.

I just tried it with DoxBox and DFend, works great, some graphic glitches at times when changing view but they "autofix" if I move the mouse.

Ouch

I'm surprised how well the game works, I had all sorts of troubles with AOTD and doxbox (sound, performances etc). Great memories, and really sound game, despite the age I felt right at home with the interface.

Love to, but my current pc wont play it.

I bought it new and unopened off ebay.

I keep it for collectors purposes unopened as with a copy each of all the Silent Hunter series.

Those pics are great. I'm tempted. No No No.

Also have unopened original DC.

These are all box versions. Earlier stuff has Great Manuals.

Shows how Quality has changed.

Still can't get sound after the intro at the menu, and I get the video glitches as well. Can someone post back the PC requirements? I can't find my box and the manual doesn't say.

Anyway, I still have it running on the Xp machine.

I'm going the same route, using DFend and Dosbox and running SH1 that way. It's actually really fast and I haven't gotten any glitches yet with the video. I'm using WinXP Pro SP3 now and not running Silent Hunter was grating at me!
