I tried to get this game to run properly but nothing helped, maybe its good but I never knew. Keep in mind this wont run on Windows 10/11 and apparently some tinkering is supposed to make it work in my case I did get it to "run" but I couldnt see crap because the resolution is too low and cant be maximized either. I am a Delta Force Veteran and enjoyed those games (classics) so yeah I wanted to enjoy this too4 found this helpful
Still great in 2025!2 found this helpful
When you click Start game, followed by the instruction of selecting a slot, the play button never lights up. This is a broken product in 2026.
It is an old game - but lots of fun and character.
I enjoyed playing this game back in the day but I'm leaving a negative review because it's too much hassle getting this to run on Win 10/11. I finally got the graphics working after using dgVoodoo instead of nglide (which didn't work for me), but then I kept getting the "spinning cockpit" issue and couldn't fix it using all the obvious solutions.
YEAH
