Revisiting My Talon Soft Youth - Lupus_Dei - 07-29-2025 Good day ladies and Gentlemen, My gratitude to the forum for granting my request to join , I was in fact a member of this fine forum many many moons ago when heavily into playing in the main Europe In Flames however I could no longer recall my login details ergo I have been reborn anew as The Wolf Of God  .Having recently developed an itch to retro game I rummaged around in the loft and fished out my boxed set of EIF , unfortunately it turned out to be the original Win 95/98 version as the only windows machine at my disposal being my veteran Sony Vaio laptop which was a pretty decent spec back in the day Viz Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T9800 @ 2.93GHz 2.93 GHz 4.00 GB 64-bit Operating System Vista Ultimate NVIDIA Ge Force 9600M GT Realising that it would be unlikely that EIF would run natively on a machine sporting Win Vista , I attempted to install the game in Win 98 emulation mode , I managed to progress to the opening scenario choice page however unfortunately upon attempting to run any of the scenario options the game crashes back to desktop . I would be most grateful for any observations on what I may be doing incorrectly and any considerations or advice what options might be available to me. Is my laptop hardware of sufficient spec to run this game ? And if in the affirmative should I quest around for a later version of the title that supports Vista / Win 7 ? My gratitude in advance . Jasper. RE: Revisiting My Talon Soft Youth - Jason Petho - 07-30-2025 Good day I don't think you'll get the old EIF games to work on newer systems. BUT. There is the newer version of JTCS located here: https://www.matrixgames.com/game/john-tillers-campaign-series Which is even getting a new update in the coming weeks!

What was your original call sign at the Blitz? I found a Jasper and a Sgt Jasper. Or something else?

I currently do not have a windows machine that can access the internet in order to purchase the game. Is it feasible for me to make a purchase and download the game via my IMac ( I am aware that the game is windows only) then transfer the game to either burnt to a CD or portable drive , until such time as I build a windows gaming PC later this year ? I have created an account at Matrix Games , am I correct in thinking that were I to purchase the game via that account that It would be registered to my account and that would be able to download the game at a later time also ? Apologies for the many questions Jason.
