Thanks now I can divert all my funds to defense spending and nuke everyone with even more nukes.

[blazingfly]

Sweeeeet.

After battling with the computer for an hour, I couldn't get it working, the floppy drive is busted... It was an awesome computer :smith:

That's my only working DOS-age computer, so I'll have to rely on dosbox now :arghfist::saddowns:

I looked it up, it's [url=http://www.cs.cuw.edu/museum/IBMPS2P70.html]old as fuck[/url], made in 1989. I found instructions for changing the drive, but I can't find spare parts anywhere :sigh:

[QUOTE=8BitLord;27703792]put the SHADOW folder in your C drive, open DOSbox and type

(mount c c:\SHADOW\) (c:) (SHADOW)

In that order with out the ()s[/QUOTE]

I do that, but then DosBOX just sits there and does nothing.

[editline]30th January 2011[/editline]

Nevermind, I'm just an idiot

[editline]30th January 2011[/editline]

Oh man this is brilliant, I nuked Iraq, France made peace with me, China nuked me, and everybody stopped trading with China.

[Codemaster85]

well I captured cuba. I then nuked the soviets and I invaded. They had no soldiers and i had 20,000. I still lost :(
Apparently north korea was the only defender with 878,000 troops.
After that, it turned into a nuclear war with everybody.

I plan invasions a month ahead to let my troops move into a neighbouring country. When I was planning to invade Israel (:v:) I moved approx. 900,000 troops into Jordan, took like a month to get 80% of them into position

[editline]30th January 2011[/editline]

I got impeached some days later (maybe cos I nuked them too) so that wasn't cool

[editline]30th January 2011[/editline]

I also was able to defuse the Gulf war through a blockade

[editline]30th January 2011[/editline]

Fuck this starting up DOSBox again

[mrmr]

Can I get some help. I downloaded the file and I am trying to run it. I get the quote right then it tells me it can't run in full screen and needs to close, I have tried telling it to run windowed any idea how to make it run? I have windows 7.

Did you extract the folder in the rar somewhere, and drag SHADOW.exe over to DOSBox?

[NoPartyHats]

So how was my term, you may ask?

Well my first move was to use all of our nuclear weaponry on Jamaica, and the UN were like THE FUCK.

Brazil tries to Condemn us. It backfires.

Jamaica tries to Condemn us. It also backfires.

Then, I invaded Haiti with 1367 Thousand troops. Half way through the war, Japan signed a peace treaty with us.

After that, Germany tried to assasinate me. They failed.

Then, the USSR signed a treaty with us. Good times.

Haiti surrenders to us, we establish a new government there.

I'm impeached.

That was a damn good 60 days if you ask me.

[editline]30th January 2011[/editline]

Round 2.

I attack Mexico with all of our nukes, USSR gets mad, we Nuke USSR, USSR nukes us back, Entire planet is after the USSR.

:frogc00l:

I have great patience for games like HoI3 and such but I really wish you could speed up time. It's like things take ages to happen and it starts to get really boring with nothing to do until something does happen.

[Xen Tricks]

So I got into a nuclear exchange with China, who nuked me after I nuked Iran, and out of nowhere France launched a nuclear assault on me. What the fuck France, you had no part in this.

[TamTamJam]

France always seems to come into fights they have no business in.

[Chonch]

Creator was likely an embarrassed Frenchman.

[GodKing]

Ha, I remember this game. I used to nuke the shit out of the smallest country I could click on. I had no idea how to play back then, I was only 12 or something.

[Xen Tricks]

Condemnations in this game are the weirdest and most annoying thing, two nations can condemn eachother to hell and back and nothing happens, or one nations condemns the other and they attack them.

I condemned Somalia for, well, being Somalia and it backfired. They then condemned me and it worked. Something is very wrong when Somalia can say any thing bad against another nation and it's accepted...

[elitehakor v2]

BTW condemnations reduce leadership effectiveness. If you successfully condemn someone they lose leadership effectiveness and if it backfires you lose leadership effectiveness

[Esrange]

France is an asshole

It keeps condemning me for no reason :saddowns:

[editline]31st January 2011[/editline]

God dammit France, if you don't stop I'm going to fucking invade you

[blazingfly]

It amuses me that every time I nuke a country, and they condemn me, it always backfires on them. Suck my nukes, complainfags.

[onforty]

I would love Hearts of Iron, can you buy it retail?

[BLAYDE]

Time to nuke me some china

[junker|154]

This game is actually pretty awesome, although it's a bit confusing at first. But the game has a charm which is fairly interesting. I will look if I can get further into the game.

Thanks OP.

[editline]1st February 2011[/editline]

Also it would be a great if you could choose the Soviet Union, imagine all the russian advisors, red and yellow interface filled with the flag of the soviets.

[NoPartyHats]

Is there anyway I can buy more nukes? I used them all on Russia and It's essentially a 3rd world country now. I WOULD invade, if it wasn't for Best Korea defending Russia with a few hundred thousand men. I could easily overpower them, but there's no room it says :smith:

[lazy]

Who's quote 6 by in the manual , when I start the game it asks me.

[editline]31st January 2011[/editline]

Nevermind, I just pressed enter and it worked.

[blazingfly]

I wish more modern games used DRM like this.

[Fables]

How exactly can I get this running? :smith:

[blazingfly]

Get dosbox, install it, download this game, open the folder you extracted this game in locate dosbox icon, drag SHADOW.exe from the SHADOW directory into the icon that says 'Dosbox'

Wait till a blue screen, hit enter.

FIRE NUKES.

[Fables]

Thanks.

Anyway to increase the resolution on this thing?

[editline]1st February 2011[/editline]

So even after causing a successful rebellion in Cuba they still fucking hate me.

[editline]1st February 2011[/editline]

Millions are dying from the radiation, only one million Soviets remain after nuclear warfare. Soon my CIA director and I were assassinated.

It may not prevent pirates, but at least you learned something!
