Well, Hello Dark Omen Fans! Am I happy to have found you, this game have been collecting dust far to long!

By the way, I am not sure that this is the right place for this topic, nevermind that will sort itself out...

So I have been able to get this awesome game up and running again thanks to your exellent patch and advice (I play on WinXP) And I am just itching to get into the thick of it!
My life's story and challenges to duels in Multiplayer, I leave to another time, however;

The question I would be very grateful for an answer is as follows:
Is there some way of playing Dark Omen with full graphics?
The gameplay as of now is not quite a sight for sore eyes is it?
I played this game on an old computer of mine some 7 years ago, and it workt wonderful Cool, but that computer is dead and buried  Cry -rest in peace.
I can get used to the visuals if I have to but what I miss is this: When using 3D, the casualties would stay on the map!
It was simply glorious Grin

To solve this problem, are there any Windows emulators that can fix this, or are there another solutions?

Yours sincerly
Mr Shadow

Hello and welcome

As far as I know there is no solution in Windows XP to play the game in 3D. You need an old graphic card+old drivers for 3D but if I remember correctly they don't work with WinXP
