Just thought I should mention it: I managed to make Tornado run on my
machine under WinXP... using DosBox (dosbox.sourceforge.net).

My life is complete again

What can I say but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGH! <g>.

Now we'll have another dreaded T-word thread again. OOOh... the
*pain*!

Did all the sound(s) work? Did the cannons work? Did you have to run
any fancy command line stuff to set up memory etc.?

Don't ask me why, but I still have the full box, disks, and manuals
.... after all these years of doing the F4 dance.

Andrew (McP) ... are *you* listening to this thread? <hehe>. Nice
movie, BTW

I resent the implication that I might be. Of course not. I've completed my
12 step programme and am no longer allowed to even *sniff* a Tornado
thread.

Rumours that I've had a Tornado LOMAC movie in the pipeline (ok, stuck in
the pipeline) for about 12 months are entirely false.

FWIW I have one computer which runs Tornado perfectly well and another
which won't touch it with a bargepole. It may well be a luck of the draw
thing. Mind you, it's almost as ugly as Stocky's politics, so I don't
actually run it very often. The manual has a much higher resolution,
though not as high as my imagination's.

PS My Tornado manual is still on my bedside table for use in emergencies.
That's sleeping emergencies, not when I can't find any jiggly bits on the
telly. I prefer to count JP.233 bomblets instead of sheep.

Yes, including the intro music. The software emulates a Soundblaster16

Yes

There's a GUI frontend to take care of that, thankfully. Well, actually
several ones, but I used this one:

Me too, but once I got a CD version cheap that included the Desert
Storm extension. Much easier to install, too

I currently have it installed myself, Win XP with dosbox.
