There is only the one version. To make it work on XP you need to download a program called DosBox. Do a search for DosBox and you should find several threads that will help.

You don't need DosBox. The game runs well on XP. The only thing which makes trouble is the intro video:

It just depends on your system and the positions of the stars. It works on XP but you just have to find the way that works for you.
Try: http://www.subsowespac.org/silent-hunter-dosbox.shtml It's like 99% percent guaranteed to work. You can also do a search of this forum for Silent Hunter 1 threads. There are a lot. |

I tried the removing the intro movie method yesterday, and it works!! The only other settings I had to change was running it in Windows 95 compatibility mode, and the soundcard setting to a Soundblaster or 100% compatible from the SB Pro.

I haven't see that game in years and all this time, it was only 3 files! My Xp-pro doesn't like DosBox for some reason. Could be my strict anti-everything software! I'm off in the dust of time's shelf... I just wanted to say geee, Thanx Buddy! |
