is that site legal?

Yes, it is.

I enjoyed a nostalgic and entertaining few hours watching the original "V" miniseries from the 80's the other day, followed by "The Final Battle" miniseries that came afterwards. Just fancied watching both and couldn't find anywhere online (legit or otherwise) to stream them. Good times! :)

It's a good site to browse through for oddities from the past, including games that can't be found anywhere else.

COOL BEANS
Thanks :D

And as for "V"

The issue to installing/running Wages of War is that the InstallShield program it comes with has a 16-bit installer stub, which Windows dropped support for after 2000 or so. The problem lies with converting the 16-bit installer stub to a 32-bit one.

Which I have done. This allows the game to run and install, but with many caveats:

-I have not found a way to get it to play without having the ISO mounted. I remember installing this a kid onto my HD completely without needing the disc. Having the ISO mounted causes some weird read errors after about half an hour or so of playing.

-The errors in question are usually mundane and make no sense; I suspect they stem from having the ISO mounted. For example, during the first mission the game loops a midi file for the entirety of the mission. After about 20-30 minutes the game will crash, saying it cannot find the midi file it has been playing the whole time. Disabling the music seems to have resolved that issue. This, in turn, shed light on another frequent error (frequent being every time I run it) which is the same result; the game crashing upon loading the image file for the loading screen (in this case while looting an enemy/friendly corpse mid-mission).

I'm trying to see if bypassing the ISO will help with these errors. I know the game was buggy/crashy even back then, but I don't recall them being over simple read errors like this. :/ Still putting the video together with a step-by-step walkthrough for this and other games in 16-bit limbo, so please don't rip off any off this info without asking me first.

Please let is know about your progress! I have been sitting on my CD of this game for over a decade waiting to find a way to make it work. This was arguably one of my absolute favorite old school games. I am a big Jagged Alliance fan, and this took Jag and brought it to the next level.

Thanks for your hard work!

Any news about this game?
Is it coming to Good old games?
Does anyone know how to make it work on windows 10 with the old ISO?

Where exactly do you people rent shovels from to go digging up threads from 2015?

Hi there, buddy
