Operation Wolf under Virtual PC

Operation Wolf was one of my childhood favorite arcade games. This game places you as a commando tearing through 6 different levels shooting *almost* everything that moves. I do not know why - but as a child I used to take great joy in shooting the few people that you were not supposed to shoot (i.e. nurses, civilians). This seemed to bother my father - which in turn spurred me on to ensure that whenever I was playing this game with him nearby I would never let a civilian cross the screen safely (which is probably far more than you really wanted to know about me - I am a nice person really ;-)).

        

To run Operation Wolf under Virtual PC - I actually had to run it under Windows 98 - as running it under DOS resulted in sporadic speed that made the game unplayable. I spent some time tweaking with the video options and could not decide which I liked better: VGA - provides all the appropriate fades and smooth scrolling, but has a bar of corrupt graphics on the right side of the screen. While MCGA has no graphical corruption - but does not scroll as smoothly.

Cheers,
Ben

  A real favorite of mine too - although in my case I first played it on my father's Amiga 2000 computer sometime in early 1989.

  I loved this game - I used to play it over at a friends house on his C64 all the time. Is it available as a free download anywhere nowadays?

  Howard -
  
  This game is still commercial /copyrighted - so there are no legal free downloads of it available.
