Doesn't the addition of Voodoo emulation apply only to DOS games that use it (Elder Scrolls Redguard, Descent II)? It won't help Windows games like Prophecy.

I'm not sure if it is the same mission, but there was one that kept crashing for me and the fix was to play one of the sim missions before launching. I was playing vanilla WCP, however...

I finished my own playthrough a few months ago and I never encountered this either. According to the guide, she is supposed "hang around the Surgeon's Blunder bar indefinitely" but I never see her again. I don't know if this is bugged or because the way the cinematic missions are triggered...

Correct. You get the same cutscenes regardless if you succeed here or not.

I don't think it matters if Hassan jumps out or not. After you take out all of the Kindred, he should email you to meet him on Hades.

A few American examples from WWII include Marine Colonel William Lee. He was a senior NCO serving at an embassy in China when Pearl Harbor happened. When the Japanese attacked, the Marines posted there became some of the first POWs of the war. Upon his return, he was commissioned a Second...

I finally got the remaining cinematic missions. It did require a bunch of take offs and landings for them to show up, though. I could be mistaken, but it seemed like doing bulletin board missions helped.

This seems to have done the trick! I changed the CD to "2" using darkfix_setup, which changes the CD.DAT file. It took me a few landings, but eventually I got the Ames mission. All I am missing now is Gould/Santana and Kashumai. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the reply. I am using the GOG version but with the Windows patch found here. CD.DAT just shows "1" but it looks like the file hasn't been modified since I started playing. darkfix_setup.exe (which comes with the patch) lets you change the CD number. I'll try playing around with...

I just finished Privateer 2, but missed a few of the cinematic missions over the course of the game. They just never showed up for me. I've read in a few places that it is possible to get these after the end of the game, but so far I have not been able to get any of the cinematic missions...

I also thought having the word "General" in the name of the ship was odd. This may actually be a WWII reference. Troop transports (which the General Powell was) built at the time were named after generals and admirals and, like the General Powell, had the word "Admiral" or "General" in the...

I found a few articles on why EA delisted the titles. Unfortunately, they don't actually explain why they delisted the titles. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-ea-delisted-and-then-relisted-four-classic-games-on-gog/1100-6495268/ "When making decisions that affect players we take the...

They are only listing films, with the exception of Star Trek which appears in both film and television. I didn't know RoboCop and Alien had firm dates. And I thought The Matrix happening in 2199 was retconned in the two sequels.

I recommend the DOS to Windows patch found here.

Thanks. Another random thing I noticed was how the names are listed in the kill board. At first it didn't make much sense to me (and I liked how in WC1 the names were ranked by number of kills). Then I noticed that the callsigns are listed, but they are ordered alphabetically by last name...
