If your considering buying.
Ok people, im startig this little thread to give info about the game in case your thinking about buying, but are not sure what to expect, having doubt, etc. So, all those that have bought this game, id appreciate it if you tried to help out,

#1: So first off, this is a pretty old game that runs on dos, ssteam sets all that up for you so if you dont have dos, dont worry.

#2: This game is fairly complex, and while theres no doubt some will enjoy it, it can be very tedius, and unles you know what your doing, youll find that the game plays itself out more than you will.

#3: the guide, which is in your game files, offer's very little help, it will give you some tacticle advice, but its control laying is...well, it doesnt help much. and without key mapping,...well youll just find yourself constantly wondering how to play unless you find a video somewhere on the internet.

#4: The guide make it quite clear, that in order to play, you need a joystick, at least to properly control your tank. so unless you have one, your better off waiting until you do.

#5: The developers have no plans for updates.

off the top of my head, thats all i can think of. If anyone would like to add to this, or make a correction, please do, afterall im only trying to give information abou the game to help buyers.

For me, the only problem is that it runs fast, really fast.

yes unfortunately night dive studios have not adjusted the dosbox settings right - you can go into the dosbox_atr.conf file (open it as a text document) and change the settings, which is what i have done and have always done for gettign dosbox games to run just right - and dosbox intends users to do thisreally

go to the game's steam folder and open the folder "dosbox windows" and there is the dosbox_atr.conf file. Open the file in notepad and where it has "memsize=32" change the 32 to a 16
and further down where it has core=.auto and cpu type=auto change these also so to be

core=normal
cputype=pentium_slow

save it and that should be enough to have dosbox emulate a computer from 1994 that will suit AtR

you can play it with out a joystick for sure - i dont use a joystick for it. The key controls are in the manual but just a bit further in, in a section where the actions for commander and gunner are detailed. I forget teh pages but there are there, i refer back to them every now and again.

No my friend, no xbox gamepad for us back in the 90s :-) I played this for a couple hours and it was fun and it gave me some old Microprose flashbacks to the early 90s, and I really got into it for a few battles... but is it just me or is Steel Division SO MUCH BETTER than this that this really becomes impossible to play for very long if you have ever played Steel Division. SD is superior, I think, in every possible way.... except there's no "career" mode... I miss career modes, all games used to have them... but I guess that is what Multiplayer ratings are for...
