Any one know how to get Wing Commander 4 to work?

Post by Stormbringer »

Any one know how to get WC4 to work on Windows98? I want to play it, bad. But the catch is I can't figure out how to get it to work. If anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it.


Thanks in advance.

WC4? Which game is that?

Can't you exit out to DOS mode to play it?

No. It doesn't want to work that way. That's been my big problem, it doesn't work in DOS.

There's a WIN95 exe available on the net. I got it working perfectly on WinXP. Didn't play it for long though.
