I think it's easier to ask here as you might already have dealt with the problem

Is there any way to play the old WC games without having to resort to virtual PC/being screwed by 3dfx?

Thanks for any answer

Being screwed by 3dfx...I suppose you're talking about Prophecy and Secret Ops. They run with D3d too. There's a fanmade high-resolution patch available for WCP here: WCP high res

and for Secret Ops: SO high res

For WC4 - The Price of Freedom there's a Win95 patch available: WC4 95

If you are lucky, youre in possession of the Kilrathi Saga: WC1,2 and 3 reprogrammed to run on Windows. If not, you can try DOSBox  , an easy to use DOS emulator, though WC3 will only run very slowly on it. There's a site somewhere where you can download the KS files to make WC3 win compatible, thouh it still crashes on some computers for no apparent reason, updated.

Good luck

Thanks a lot!
BTW, are there any fanmade remakes like WCSAGA around?

[Lynx]

There's a Privateer Remake around somewhere. That's the only remake I know of.

There are also some excellent mods for Secret Ops out, Wing Commander: Unknown Enemy and Wing Commander: Standoff. You should try them out.

I'm sort of a discountinuous WC player (I've got WC1 and Secret Ops) but i'd really like a revival
