Atomic Games V4V Series

[Capt Cliff]

ORIGINAL: Kung Karl

They work fine on Windows 7 with DosBox 0.74.

I tried both V4V Gold Juno Sword and WaW Stalingrad and they both worked great.

I would be nice if you didn't have to use DOSBOX. It's so cryptic and I never got the sound to work properly. [:(]

found all mu old V4V stuff afterall and I've got everything running except D-Day America invades and if I remember there were a couple of hoops you had to jump through to get it to run right............anybody got some insight?

using DOSbox and defend............any better frontends outthere than defend?

Try use D-Fend, it is a front end for DosBox and makes it very easy to use.

Hey thanks Kung. All this talk about these grand old wargames got me motivated to grab D-Fend and give them a whirl. I got the four V4V games to run fine even with sound, though the scrolling is a bit slow. The W@W titles; D-Day and Stalingrad; run fine but no sound. Did you get the sound for the W@W titles working? I can't find Operation Crusader which was the best of the entire series. I am sure it is out there somewhere though and I will track it down. I still wish someone would wrap all these titles up and re-release them with some little enhancements. These are such great games.

if matrix would update it, I would buy it!

I got sound from W@W Stalingrad. I used DosBox v 0.74 and the latest D-Fend reloaded. I then chose to add a profile using an existing template (Complex DOS game with 3D graphics). The game ran prefectly with sound with no other changes. I would recommend increasing the mouse sensitivity in DosBox cause the mouse speed was to slow from the template. Easy fix to do in D-Fend. Good Luck!

Hey thanks, I may have to give that a whirl.

Thanks

Glad to help!

EDIT...

Ha! 1 Year and 2 months later than the original post here, I finally get the last one running! (This is almost as "joyous" as getting fully patched versions of Over The Reich and Achtung Spitfire running under XP!)

Yep!! Count me in on that. Bundle the whole bunch. America Invades, Gold-Juno-Sword, Stalingrad, Crusader, Market Garden and Velikiye Luki. How's $10 each or a $70 package?

If anybody gets Crusader working, please let me know how... I tried and tried and tried several years ago... it's one of a few games I can no longer run.

I tried with the same settings as in my earlier post and it worked fine.

Hi,

I have all of them as well and still occasionally trot one out for a quick game. I'm still running XP SP3 so they all still work except for America Invades which refuses to recognize the CD in the drive and consequently won't load. The original DOS solution was to use the Lastdrive command specifying the drive letter after your actual last drive letter.
No idea how to run the game in XP as there does not appear to be an equivalent command to lastdrive in DOS. <sigh>

Will it work in DOSBox?

Some of them were originally put out as a bundle - I got (and still have stored away) market garden/utah beach/gold-juno-sword/ velikye luki - that came as a V4V 50th anniversity end of WWII commemorative edition.

Good stuff - but I'm not sure my current operating system is compatible with the old CDRom's [:(]

I own Stalingrad and D-Day, and they both work fine in DOSBox. They are still surprisingly good games, even after all these years. I'd love to see some updated versions for sale in the future.

I used D-Fend Reloaded and it works fine on Vista 64bit OS.
