Talk:Time Commando

Windows XP
It just doesn't work under Windows XP. My solution was to run the game directly from the installed TIMEWIN.EXE (and not the malfunctioning CD-ROM menu), but not before changing its properties to:
 * "Compatibility"=>"Windows 98".
 * "Compatibility"=>"Disable visual themes".

Alas, you can't skip the cutscenes, as an attempt to do so halts the game.

See a whole discussion about it in this forum (watch the hint to use a program called "PE Explorer").

So did anyone manage to fix the ability to skip the cutscenes? -Lwc 01:10, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The recommanded way to run Time Commando on a recent computer is to use DosBOX to run the dos executable version version.

 * Solved! Who would have guessed it's that easy? All you have to do is:
 * Install the game.
 * Copy TIMEWIN.EXE to your hard drive (it will work anyway, but you can then optionally fix it with PE Explorer).
 * Create a shortcut for it, but in the "start in" write "d:\" (or wherever the CD is in).
 * That's it! The shortcut will just launch the game in XP natively. No need to do any compatibility. You can even skip cutscenes. -Lwc (talk) 18:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Another solution!
 * run cmd.exe
 * enter cd drive
 * write "timewin" and press enter
 * thats it !

Trivia
If found out that the two entries I added in a Trivia section were removed. It seems that 'trivia' sections are not welcome anymore on wikipedia, but I really wish the information to be back in some way in the page:

I have somewhere on some backup cd roms the complete background design of the game, including the individual stories of characters, some original concept art, etc... Mike 17:04, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * The addition of that information could be great for the article --Lashiec 17:31, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
