I loved the music from TT. "Don't Walk" is so funky. And "Easy Rider" is another good one

It so sad when you hear one song, and you know the whole tune for it, and as well as the song which comes after that, and that, and then you find out you just whistled to the whole ttd midi track

man i love that game,

pity its been out in the shed for years (was the dos ver). I'm sure its dead now, disks don't like getting left in the damp.

any idea where i might accidently fall and hit myself on such a thing?
(assuming the the windows ver is the only one that works in xp,even with patch)

speaking of stumbling....

Has anyone found a way to run privateer 1 on xp? I've tried vdms(X) and virtualpc(too slow).

lol TT rules back in the days

i was hell hookd on it...but it got boring after i had everything...(factories i mean)

Cure99 · 15th August 2002, 3:01 AM

yeh man

i mean i thought something really special was gonna happen after 100years...
but it was a huge anticlimax...
i think i blinked and missed it!

before i downloaded the patch it came up with an error "could not open COM4".
this caused it to crash about 30sec into the game.
after i used the patch it also said "could not open COM3".
no progress on crashing situation...

what does this mean?

Ahh, good old TTD. I tried to get it to work in XP, but failed miserably. I got my dirty hands on VMWare, installed win98 and had many weeks of fun

Yeah, the TTD music was good. However, whenever I hear particular songs on the radio, I remember the games i used to play when they were on... in particular, C&C.

yeah the C&C music was cool

the best music would have to be from the original C&C

I don't think TT will work on WinXP..I`ve tried to get it running on Win2k..no luck

Try the TTDX Windows version..
As far as I know, both the versions doesnt work on Win2k/XP. Unless someone has discovered a way

Tarrasque · 18th August 2002, 8:57 PM

I have got it working under 2k/ XP ...
