Gunship!

Okay, First things first. Gunship! is NOT a new game. As a matter of fact, it's so old that most young gamers probably never heard of it. But, that's not as bad as it sounds, because Gunship! is a good game. It's not perfect on all fronts, but the fact that you can play this in Co-Op is awesome. (Pilot/Gunner) Yes, I know, the store page doesn't mention it, but it has multiplayer Co-Op support. If you experience any problems with the multiplayer part you might want to start a single player game first. (You had to do that all the time, prior to hosting a session) That's what worked back then.

Great game, brings back lots of memories. Download the modm8 here to fly the AI helicopters and a few more, you need to use wayback machine though: http://www.quantumhammer.com/simwarrior/gunship/utilities/gsmodm8v3.exe

I am a massive fan of the original Gunship on the C64, I must have played it for weeks, so I was very excited to play this. Sadly, despite a promising start (the menus talk about support for HOTAS) you can only run the game in Software Rendering mode which forces a resoltuion of 640x480. If you try and run in Hardware it crashes immediately when you click on "Take Off". You could argue that 640x480 is still higher resolution than the C64...but it's the fact that the game offers up to "1920x1080" and I can't help but feel cheated being forced to play in such low-res.

This game was a wonderful surprise!!!!!! For a game that came out around 2000 (or so) it still has a lot of WOW to it. Thre graphics are a bit dated but the immersion factor is definitely there!!!!........being of the old school (the early years of PC flight simulator games) this is a big plus for me. I have windows 7 (64 bit) with an average computer system and the game runs perfect....no problems what so ever.

WINDOWS 10 OWNERS - DO THESE 2 THINGS BEFORE RUNNING THE GAME! If you have just bought and installed he Steam version of Gunship!, and are running a modern rig running on Windows 10, don't play the game yet! Instead, head over to (1) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByB5bg7PKu0tM1hFSVRrMm90V2s/view?pageId=112916723387854789444&resourcekey=0-CJNgzf4DxqbkBf1wtAFv-g -and- (2) http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/ The former link gives you instructions how to make the game silky smooth and high-res. The latter link allows you to download the dgVoodoo2 wrapper. You will need to do these two things in order to experience a smooth and frustration free gaming experience on your modern PC. I haven't mastered this game, but these things I know: (a) the menu music is simply brilliant (b) the graphics are great, considering the year it was released (c) lots of 3D trees (actually 2D polygons arranged in 3D fashion) - see any trees in Longbow 2? Highly recommended.

I had a bad start after installing and couldnt get the game to run until I set the exe file to "run as administrator" But after that it was ok, I also had to increase the graphic settings as the default settings seem to be on super low, the game runs well and the gameplay is great. I hope an instruction manual is going to be introduced as the tutorial only covers the bare minimum, ( Im still trying to work out how to use Chaff and flares), I suggest tapping keys in game to access some nifty features, I used the F4 view and tapped "e" and "r" to change the camera views. Great game but not enough info provided :) Update regarding the manual, I basically google for one and found one, there are a few "gunship" games out there so be sure to get the right one :)

READ THIS TO AVOID BREAKDOWNS AND BROKEN COMPUTER PARTS DUE TO SMASHING... Great game EVEN IN 2022.... after reading several forums posts u get it to work fairly easy. Its 2022 i have gtx 1080ti and win 11 x64 - no compatibility mode, no launch options changed :-) , and still works great back in time i tried it with win 10 and it works great too. Runs in 1920x1080 32bit and ultrawide 3440x1440 32 bit color mode. Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog does not work, unfortunately. Initial problems with hardware mode was that steam doesnt support dx7 anymore, although game is optimized for it, ironic isnt it ? Follow these steps to enyoy full hd resolution if you get error: DX7 Application Error Error destroying D3D objects hr: DDERR_GENERIC i am quoting steam user that helped me: 1Patriot-of-many [has Gunship!] 11 Nov, 2017 @ 11:50pm I was getting the same error message,I just figured it out for WinXP64, might work for XP32 too. Download DGVOODOO2 version 2.52 Extract the MS folder from dgvoodoo2 2.52 to your gunship folder. On XP64 it's Program Filesx64/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Gunship Then open dxwnd.ini and change ver0=7 to ver0=8 I have two Nividia cards so it worked in nvidia for me in the game settings, you'll have to try the different settings, or maybe ATI shows up in your game settings I don't know. Let me know if that works for you, good luck!

After playing gunship 2000, I had to give this game a downvote. This game is just an inferior version of gunship 2000 except the graphics. Gunship 2000 offers more various helicopters, controls are much better and easy to understand, and making waypoints are simple and easy unlike this confusing mess. Just download amiga, DOS, or the PS1 port of gunship 2000. Gunship 2000 also offers randomly generated missions like roguelike games today, so replay value is almost infinity.

For anyone having issues with old games like these on modern systems (including mechwarrior 3) try dgVooDoo. It's a simple process and it has my Gunship! running at 1600x900 with no graphical issues on Windows 10. If you can't figure out the instructions send me a message and I will give you a step-by-step on using dgVooDoo
