This game runs better in DOSBOX than it ever did in true DOS with mechanical joysticks. I’ve beaten all 47 missions dozens of times.

It was kind of an arcade type sequel and if you have a gameport joystick with a hat switch, you can manually target enemy tanks and make it more realistic. Played it for hours, great manual.Īrmored Fist, 1994 - Everybody expected this to be a sequel to M1 tank Platoon. The ones below are the most significant to me and I’ve got them all installed and running. I was in a Bradley Mech Infantry Natl Guard unit when all these tank sims came out so I was really really into it. I’ve also got iM1 Abrams installed as well as all 3 Armored Fist sims. I programmed my joystick to operate the same in both sims. Sometimes, I’ll do the gunnery range in Steel Beasts, then jump into M1 Tank Platoon 2. Regarding M1 Tank Platoon 2, I noticed the gunnery is very similar to the original Steel Beasts which I also have installed on the IBM Aptiva. It was really fun wiping the drives, cleaning the hardware, replacing the broken CD-ROM drives, and reinstalling everything!! Not being a gamer, he kinda just laughed and said, “take ‘em.
STEEL BEASTS GOLD NO CD SERIES
Mechwarrior 2, Earthseige, The Armored Fist series of tank games, etc. Back in the late ‘90s developers were producing great programs for desktops.

STEEL BEASTS GOLD NO CD PC
Thanks, Polak2!! When my neighbor was about to toss those old desktops, I explained to him that PC gaming peaked right around the time those machines were sold. So keep on posting your story and perhaps we can find more fun and entertainment in this old Microprose gem. To the contrary, I am as you see very eager for any news of your exploits and experiences which maybe I had missed. Unfortunately, just like you were a little disappointed with the game vs depiction of things in the manual, I was also saddened to discover that a rather primitive terrain and perhaps simplistic gameplay gave me no deeper satisfaction I was hoping for in reviving this game.īy no means do I say this to discourage you from exploring this tank sim. I gladly share that with you or anyone interested. Sounds may be complicated but it is really not.īe as it may, I leave you to your old Aptiva as long as it works for you.Ībout M1TP2 in general: I have recently scoured the internet and recovered an entire wealth of old articles, tactical guides, and quite nifty modding tools. I run M1TP2 on Win10 64 on dgVoodo2 glide wrapper and with some help of DXWnd configuration program.
STEEL BEASTS GOLD NO CD DRIVERS
I realize that 3dfx drivers for Voodoo cards gave some of the games very special flavor, but I am not sure if that is really the case or that was just that we were awestricken with then what you would consider better graphics or we simply did not know any better. Still, I am of the opinion that modern hardware with all the associated horse power gives the right environment to experience old games without worrying about FPS and all that performance stuff.

Once I do, I might replay it on a harder setting.Īnd I too have very soft spot for some of the old simulations.Īlthough I prefer to try to work them on the modern systems (and sometimes that makes me want to cry!). I’ll let you guys know when I’ve beaten every mission. Gunship! and another Creative Voodoo2 card for SLI mode sounds like good Christmas presents for this retired soldier and the recently brought out of retirement Aptiva PC!!! That was stupid on my part because this sim is fantastic.
STEEL BEASTS GOLD NO CD MANUAL
I actually think the intimidating manual scared me away from giving the game a chance when I bought it 20 some odd years ago. The game is a lot simpler than the manual led me to believe. I’ve beaten 3 of the 5 M1TP2 campaigns on “Easy” setting. I do remember everybody being mad at Hasbro for canceling Tank! It doesn’t seem that long ago - boy, time flies. They would be smart to complete Tank! But, even if all we will ever have is M1TP2 and Gunship! That’s good enough for me. I have heard Microprose is being resurrected. We perhaps never know what was on their drafting boards when M1TP3 got canceled. and unless current MPS does something it was all for naught.
