H&D in a Virtual Machine

[TheSeeker]

Hi Folks

I've just discovered your great site after searching for Hidden and Dangerous.

I played this game non-stop when it came out and loved it. My favourite level being the one where you have to steal the boat from the jetty. I've yet to find a game with such good level design. I played that one for hours before discovering the clothes on the washing line. I tried everything to get through the blockade using brute force and stealth. Of course once you figure out the clothes line trick it's easy.

Since then however I've switched to the Mac (and use Solaris at work) and no longer have access to a Windows PC.

Are there any options for running H&D in a virtual machine?  I've had some success using DosBox for older games but I think H&D is Windows only and requires Direct X.

Best regards

Ben

DirectX 6.1 and an 4MB 3d Card. Don't know if you can emulate now any in an virtual machine, but dos box only is not enaugh

You can use Darwine on OSX and I believe H&D1 has support for OpenGL as well
