Random downloads of games often results in strange problems - which is the primary reason this forum rarely gets involved in trying to figure out what the cause is.

If you get a licensed copy (e.g. on a CD) then I am pretty sure we can get it to work - eventually.

Have you tried checking the DOSBox compatibility list?

Hmm - don't see Fast Attack.

There's no guarantee that the game will work, it's up to you if you wanna
buy it (no refunds from any side!).

Fast attack was very prone to crashes. Have you installed the patch?

Though I didn't play for vary long, it played flawlessly for me in DOSBox, including cut scenes. This, of course is with a legitimate CD. I can't say anything about what your ripped version might be doing.

Thanks, guys. Guess what I was asking was there anything relative to ripped versions that made them particularly prone to this kind of thing. But you guys have pretty much answered that.

I'll wait till and if I get the CD and get back to you.

(an aside: I'm an ardent sub buff, books, games, etc., for a DOS app, this little gem, in spite of the present glitches, is a real find...talk about realism!)

Again, thanks. You guys are super!

Look for GATO, that was one the finest strategic sub sims of the old days. Also, I can highly recommend Harpoon too.

Thanks for the heads up. Oh, and I ordered FA today from ebay. Let you guys know if I have any trouble gettin' it up (Dang! should've re-worded that, but I've already clicked Submit). 😊

Would also recommend Jane's 688(I) Hunter/Killer. Has a bit of a learning curve, like all good sims.
But it's a nice compromise between realism and playability imho. W95 and plays fine under XP,
so would guess it should also play under Vista. Sorry if slightly off topic. 😊

Appreciate it.

Got the CD today, can't overstate how cool it is. Animations, cut scenes galore!

(Yeah, I hear ya, In a month or so he'll probably toss it, and be saying, Fast who?)

I hope this isn't too OT, but I'm unable to use 3rd party (FRAPS) apps for screen shots and in-game vids. (I running DOSBX .72) I punch the hotkey, it just kills whatever's happening then moves on to the next game event. Am I missing something or is this app non-fuctional in the game?

dosbox can make screenshots and movies itself. just check the special keys section in the readme

Bingo!

Chalk up another one for Vogons!

You guys are truly worth your weight in daisys 😁 !
