Yup. That's the one. Requires a Win98 install CD or DOS install disks, and a fairly fast processor, but it's good for a fair number of old DOS games.

I never managed to get this one running in Dosbox, and unfortunately, there was never a Windows version. (The closest we had was an icon that exited to DOS and ran it). If I recall correctly, it does run under Virtual PC. You might want to download a trial of that and see.

If you can't find the answer here, you should try going to the TTLG forums and asking in the System Shock section. Many dedicated Shockers there. I, unfortunately, only have SS1, so I can't help you. 😖

I think I remember this problem. As I recall, you have to go into your Thief directory and open up user.cfg. Add the line "safe_texture_manager" and save. That should fix it. If not, go to Through The Looking Glass. In their Thief forums, there's a FAQ for problems like this.[/url]

Nope. I can tell the difference between a .pif file and a .lnk file. 😜

For some reason, the compatability tab in in the properties page for shortcuts and program has disappeared on my computer. I've done some searching, but nothing has helped.

I ran it on a 1.7ghz Athlon with 512 meg of ram, so I don't see why not.

I've managed to get it working using Microsoft Virtual PC. Unfortunately, it's only a trial, so it'll cut out after 30 days, but it seems to work well enough. Just keep in mind that you'll need a hellishly fast computer to run it.
