JA2 definitely had some mined and fenced bases that I remember. There are some other candidates, though I'm not sure if they have mine detection mechanics: Soldiers at War and 101st Airborne.

The engine might be "time-bombed". From acknex.exe: Time restricted - NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION 4.0H alpha Mar 28 1999 Excellent find! Who knows what happened with this weird game, it only gets weirder. Could it be that they missed removing the restriction before the release? Is the release a hurried …

No way...this actually works, even on my Windows 10 PC! However the game runs WAY too fast, I'm wondering if this is one of those where the speed of the game is dependent on the processor you're using, not sure if there's anything to simulate a slower processor that we could possibly use You can …

I wondered if it was the old Y2K bug popping up, but then the IGN reviwers had problems with the game in 1999 already; the failed review the OP linked was originally posted in september 1999? Their problem was different that ours. They had the game crashing. Y2K bug doesn't even allow the game to …

Nice one, konc! It does work with dgVoodoo2 on Windows 10 but the game runs too fast (limiting FPS helps). Also there's no music. Does the original disc have audio tracks? I still can't get it to work in W10 even after changing the date. Did you do anything else apart from dgvoodoo? Runs okay in …

Did you fully remove the id tags? Half-Life's old mp3 playback method really doesn't like them.

Nope, the boot disk CD isn't working. I burned the iso on a CD-R, put it in the CD drive, booted up, the boot up hangs on to a black screen with the hyphen or underline flashing but nothing happens. Why would you burn a floppy disk image to a CD? Notice how it says "Boot Disk (3.5-1.44mb)". Disk vs …

You might try one more thing: delete the GPU driver and run games with the Microsoft default driver. See if that changes anything I was on the process of doing that now, and still no luck. I assume you've tried compatibility mode and uninstall and reinstall it and clean out the directory. Hmm have …
