Angelshade00 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I have the original Apocalypse CD (actually it was a pack with all 4 games) and I am wondering if I can run it on win7 on my laptop. I can't start the installation, it says it does not support full screen mode. Is there any way to run the install?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelshade00 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 I managed to run the install using DOSBox. I open it through DOSBox but it doesn't play at all, only shows a black screen and that's all. Also I can't find any patches around. Can someone help me or provide me with a patch link?

zeus1911 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Works for me in Win7 with dosbox. I run xcomapoc (.exe) , it also does the black screen, but i just press ESC and it then goes to game menu. Make sure you set your sound properly in setup.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelshade00 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 The setup option also doesn't work on DOSBox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeus1911 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yea i just tried the setup and it wouldnt load Just had a read around.. You could try the crack https://www.megagames.com/fixes/x-com-apocalypse COPIED FOR ANOTHER THREAD What are your soundcard specifications? The type of soundcard, IRQ, DMA, etc. Is it a soundblaster 'compatible'? If it is, that should make things easier. Test the various 'sound blaster' settings in the sound setup, and work down from there. Note that the game's 'autodetect' setting is unreliable and shouldn't be trusted. First time I set up the game, it autodetected my Sound Blaster Pro (which it is), but the whole thing fouled up and worked like Alain described. I had to manually set it to a plain 'Sound Blaster' and it now works like a charm. From the .nfo file with the crack... install the game with optimal version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
