Horrendous experience, slight rant warning !Was looking forward to some Nostalgia, to the good games of old, ...But i tried as good as everything to get it to run on my Win7 64bit system, but never succesfull.I was even expecting that an oldy like this wouldn't run smoothly on newer systems(tends to happen, not first time, not first game)But after going through this for an extended period of time, i'm throwing in the towel.I would love if one of these (or both) would occur in the future:1) devs should rlly ****ing update their games properly, so that they would/could actually run on more modern systems without too much hastle, if they want to sell their games via a Modern & Digital retailer like Steam (or GoG or ....)The current situation just screws over clients, and its purely negative bussiness.2) Valve should freaking atleast put a big warning about optimisation or compatability issues. Activly check the games they wish to sell via Steam, and put appropriate warnings in place.And yeah i hear you, they do that already, but to such a lesser degree its laughable, and definitely not activly (enough)Way too many (older) games on Steam have issues with overlay, but Valve/Steam won't warn you about that, or that a game would, for a lot of players, not launch, or crash.You only get that information from the other gamers that already smacked against that wall.Getting so darn sick of companies only purely after money & power, abandoning decency whenever it suits em, and put a tiny freaking band-aid on gushing wounds as positive PR.Now for the full experience, and the very near-future Refund ticket:1) The game wouldn't launch, even after using admin + setting compatibility to win XP Service P32) after sifting through all guides and possible unofficial fixes and patches in the discussion section and online in general, I eventually got the game to launch to the main menu (sometimes), but that’s where it would crash again, or at other times I’d only have the option to "Exit Game".Constantly trying to rewrite / patch the "GameLauncher.bat" file, to force it to work as every guide / patch tries to do, yields varying results and error messages. But I never got to see or get to actually start the game from its main menu (if I even got to the main menu)3)I’ve checked the Product Website, which yields nothing but generic game info, the Developer website is actually the Product Website, and the (supposed) Publisher, via the “Customer Support Website” doesn’t even have the game in its list of (supported) games.. This is an old game; I enjoyed it back in the day. I don't have any delusions about it supporting 5.1, or modern resolutions, or my xbox controller. However, it should be sold in such a state that it launches and is playable. This game can't be launched, and is not playable.(note: there are some folks having luck with a 3rd-party patch). This "game" is not even worth getting for cards.. Looked good, buuut...Game would not load at all. Checked discusion on hub. Tried patching game and all work arounds available on hub. No joy. Pity. Do not purchase game until, if ever, the devs get it working.. Faulty game launcher - but that's NOTHING! I was unable to play this game for over a decade! It's originally was made for Win 98 and XP patch not always worked. So setting BAT file launcher to admin permission is forgivable for me.Game is FREAKING AMAZING, both it good and bad sense. There is some parts that are outdated more than the poop of the dinosaur, but the gameplay is still AWESOME!Really complaining old good game for 1,3$ - you are insane! If you are futuristic sim-game fan - GRAB IT NOW! It's like Battletech Aerospace fighter inspired gem!.

I bought it for few cents, paid too much. This is ablsolute, pure, 100% non-working s***. I tested it on windows 10 x64, windows 7 x64 sp1 and windows xp sp3 (win7 and win xp via virtualbox). The only working part of it is the *.bat file, that has to be modified in order to idle cards.. Broken installation script. Won't launch so don't buy till devs fix it.
