I fear that Birthright will not be available on gog. To much work with a game that was buggy back then and, I suspect, to few potential buyers for a gog-version.

I'm happy to see so many Silent Hunter fans on here, I've played 3-5 with 3 being the best one. Anyways, I have a Windows 98 computer that can play almost all of the old games that I've been seeing on this thread, hopefully mom doesn't toss it when I'm at school, especially since I think my copy of "The Complete Carriers at War" is still in it[X(]

It worked Bullwinkle, or at least ALMOST. However something strange is going on, when I launch and run the game, the minute I switch to another screen, the whole picture gets blurred, like it is shifted and thus not "stable" although it doesn't move around, however it is unreadable (although you get the idea of what the screen is displaying). Any thoughts???? When I exit, this problem is somewhat displace upon my desktop as well (but only where the pointer of the mouse is!), rather strange.

Yeah that what I am afraid of, interesting and funny game during combat. I am surprised that no one out there ever made a game compare to this on DnD or any time periods.

I'm not sure what the compatibility settings on Win 10 look like. Below is my compatibility settings in Win 7 for launching. I think cutting out the "talking" to the desktop graphics for older games is sometimes a key.

Thanks for the assist in getting Silent Hunter full screen.
After much mucking around with different resolutions and such, found that I needed to not toggle the full screen view option in the options screen. That allowed SHIII to go to a windows view, and that then allowed the resolutions to have effect. Best resolution for my monitor wound up being 1600x1200 and then adjusting the monitor display setting to 150%. Takes up about 95% of the monitor and looks great.
No compatibility issues running on Windows 10 so far either! Now I can take a sub for a war cruise while waiting for my turn!

Glad you got it to go. Win 10 is unknown territory for me.
