I have downloaded "X-COM: Terror from the Deep" which is in DOS. Your site with this download also shows a patch, and I have downloaded it as well. I am running it through Boxer on a Mac OS 10.6.8, but can not figure out how to use the patch. I can not even open the "read me" located in the patch file, as Mac says there is no app to do so. How would I use this patch?
I had some difficulty getting this to install correctly. If anyone else is having problems, this is what I did to get it to work:
imgmount x C:pathtoTERROR.ISO -t iso
x:
multi
Then just go though the install.
DON′T run the install command. It does not install it correctly.
Do you think you can distribute this game with the animated cinematics? Even though the HDD install replaces them with slides, they can still be re-enabled by doing the following: Copy the ANIMS folder from the CD-ROM into the game directory then create a file called cdspeed.dat and place it in the SOUND directory. To create the cdspeed.dat, the easiest method is use any plain text editor and save a blank file as CDSPEED.DAT.
Also, remember guys to patch it to v2.1, I had to do it because I could′t research magnetic navigation. Patch solves so many bugs.
@Emmanuel Goldstein: If you have problems with speed of the game, configure DoxBox to your liking. This worked for me:
fullscreen=true
aspect=true
core=dynamic
cycles=30000
Change number of cycles if needed.

could NEVER figure out how to play these X-COM games?
to this day I have no idea how to play them….too overwhelming!
I need a frigging manual or something, a lot of people like these
games though so they must be doing something right.
you all say use dosbox, but it refuses to even open the folder of x-com terror from the deep,
other games work fine though :S
The PSX version was PAL-only, so it would make sense to have an Italian option. Can′t speak for the Dos, though.
is the game even in Italian? i had it for PS1 and the game had italian language, but i bought it on steam the other day and there isn′t the italian language….
Fegelein! Why didn′t you add our swastika and they whole Third Reich army on it! We could exterminate all those aliens like what we did with those Jeaws!
I played this when i was released… such an awesome game… nothing like it sense.. was a cool concept…. those aliens are a bitch… be careful aaghghghghg

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE GAMES WORK????
There is NO SUCH THING as a SOUND BLASTER!!!! Not anymore….
just buy it on steam for £3 and wait till openxcom bring out opentftd
Got this in college when it was new, and played it for 2000+ tactical missions. Amazing I didn′t get all D′s those two years.
I haven′t played this game in many years and just wanted a good old blast from the past.
the best advice would be for you to get windows based MS-DOS emulator. im using DOSBOX and the game works fine with it, just read readme included with this software. its simple and easy and works for anyone.
you could also make a dos boot disk, put the game′s files on another, boot from the disk and play it that way… although the sound would be messed up and on new pc′s it would be waaaaay too fast.
@weynerest: First grab the patch (http://www.strategycore.co.uk/files/tftd-2.1/), then extract it somewhere.
Ignore TFTDCD files. Copy only TFTDHD folder, TFT
Gybyterian, can you share what and how to patch it to v2.1?
Thanks.
I′ve tried many versions of xcom2, and always there were some issues. This one however runs like a dream!
When I try to unzip it, it gives me something about encryption. I am uneasy to hit yes, what do I do?
Emmanuel Goldstein had that problem too. Either run it in DosBox or pick up the X-com Collector′s Edition. I did both.
I love this game but I′m having a problem in the battle screen– the mouse zooms around super fast– I don′t know how to slow it down… anyone have this problem?
I love this game. i playing thig game for about 10 years and it is still very fun!!! i enjoj everytime i launch it!!!
LOL welcome to steam they can sell the download if you want and you know tons of steam-users will buy it,
Use D-fend to play roms, just drag and drop the zip file on it and it work automaticly
play this one.
how do i start playing this, i cant seem to work it out. im on windows xp
none of them, it′s a *.bat file (a script)… I′ve almost forgotten how DOS works…
Changed the game archive, this is now the international version of the game ! Enjoy and thanks for the feedback.
