| How come CAOD has never came out as part of a two disc "oldies" set like SHCE? Personally, I think that CAOD is the greatest subsim ever made... lost my copy though, and I have sure been kicking myself for it ever since. I don't have a credit card yet as I am still a student... any ideas where I might be able to order a copy by cheque? |

You can still get it on ebay or half.com but the seller would not post it untill the check clears.

It was once sold in "the aces collection", with "red baron" and something other.
Try by a pre-paied credit card, charged with only the minimum amount; is the safest way. |

Boy, I didn't know they still sold the game. I'm surprised, but my copy of CAoD still runs. I've got WinME. I like to play it every now and then. It will be a classic for a long time to come. The box that mine is in is a little beat up, but everything inside is mint. I always liked watching the ships sink. Sometimes it is pretty funny to watch a ship do cartwheels when it sinks. Just turn time compression up a ways and watch the show. lol  |

| My recommendation is to search for it on ebay. I have several times seen it there in excellent condition. |

I was hoping by this time you could download a free game. (I think the original game is available on download . . . but it's still DOS!  ) |

|
|
OK you Ol' swabs! :ahoy:
I was able to get Aces Over Europe(from the original 3 Sierra floppies) up and running on my winxp pro system! As well as Aces Of The Deep!! You may already know about this but I thought I would pass it on anyway. 
What I did was download a program called DOSBox and another windows frontend for DOSBox called D-Fren v2.
The links for these are below.
DOSBox-0.63-install.exe
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1
D-Fend-2.0.62.42.exe
http://members.home.nl/mabus/
Installed DOSBox first and then D-Fend.
D-Fend has a setup wizard and is extremely easy to use.
So far I have tested about 20 old dos games and everyone worked perfect.
Here is my setup: WinXP Pro, 2GB Ram, ATI Radeon XT 256MB,STA soundcard. I was viewing it on a 24inch SyncMaster monitor too! 
Aces Over Europe
Aces Of The Pacific
Aces Of The Deep
Red Baron
Doom,1,2,SE
Spear of Destiny
Wolfenstien
BlackThorn
Pretty cool to see these old games and hear the music again.
