<p>79.77.77.100: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox Game<br /> |title=X-COM: Apocalypse<br /> |image=[[Image:Ufo2p_000.png|320px|Title Image]]<br /> |caption=The title screen for X-COM: Apocalypse<br /> |developer=Mythos Games<br /> |publisher=Microprose<br /> |released=1997<br /> |version=[[Version0.71|0.71]]<br /> |status=Gold<br /> |setup='''SETUP.EXE'''<br /> |installer='''INSTALL.EXE'''<br /> |executable='''XCOMAPOC.EXE'''}}<br /> <br /> ==Making it work==<br /> Since this is a CD-ROM game, you will need to mount either the physical CD or an ISO image while the game is running.<br /> The settings are straight forward, but for best performance you will need at least 200MB of free space on your mounted C drive to install. If installing with the minimal (20MB) or standard version (60MB) does not work, use the optimal version (200MB).<br /> <br /> Typical mounts will show around 100MB of free space. Since this is a huge game (for its time), you will need the flag '''-freesize'''. Try '''mount C YOURDRIVE -freesize 1024''' if you need intend to use the optimal version.<br /> <br /> Use the default settings for Sound Blaster 16, and all will be well. The speed of the CD-ROM drive can be ignored if you are mounting the ISO.<br /> <br /> On DOSbox V 0.73 the CD mount was no required after installation of the optimal version <br /> <br /> ==Reason for Gold==<br /> The program hangs once a blue moon, and sometimes the game will ask for the CD-ROM when it is already mounted. This is tested on Ubuntu 7.10 with DOSBox 0.71. Just close the window and reload the game. Save often.<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> *[[http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=8962 VOGONS :: View topic - Tips for getting X-Com: Apocalypse working]] The site this page is based on.<br /> *[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-COM:_Apocalypse X-COM: Apocalypse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]] Wikipedia Entry on the Game.</div>
