C:\ CD\Ultima6 U6,.....now how hard was that :-) I must admit that having a different config.sys for each game was a pain. lol yeah i cud prolly use it if i tried - and if XP didnt hate it im more of a phobe than anything :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer Posted August 8, 2003 Author Share Posted August 8, 2003 Classic? I bought U-6 and Wing Commander 1 when they were NEW and came on a bunce of floppys. In fact U-6 initally came on 5" floppys but you could get it on 3 " floppys if you wanted to order them. My computer at that time was a 20 Mhz 286 with 4 meg of Ram ( a lot for those days). U-6 and Wingcommander made me get my firsy mouse ( up till then real men dident need no stinkin mouse), and my first sound card, an original Soundblaster. In order to get the game to run well I had to write cutome config.sys and autoexec.bat files along with a little batch file that changed out my configuration depending on which game I was loading. I still have my final save game files for those two games, the one just berore I "saved the human universe from the Kilrathi or Saved Britannia". Just wait ten years and we will be talking about the "Classic game Morrowind". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmons78 Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I bought U-6 and Wing Commander 1 when they were NEW and came on a bunce of floppys. WOW, that is old! (No offense) I remember playing Wing Commander, but I don't really remember it all that much. But anyway, it's always good to see the appeal of a game like Morrowind, which will become a classic someday, to all generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
