Aliens: Extermination

Howard_Casto:
Anything made after the early 2000's most assuredly is just a glorified pc.  Now if it runs on XP or Linux or misc, I don't know. 
POOTERMAN:
Apparently Alien: Armageddon and Terminator made by PlayMechanix/Raw Thrills run on Linux Dell machines.
Brian74:
I tried running terminator and bbh threw a vm, didn't get very far.
MrThunderwing:
Somebody's posted this solution to getting the game working over at a French forum:


--- Quote ---I premade a virtualbox image with this fully working on ***.
 
In virtualbox create a new VM with the following settings:
Windows XP (32 bit)
1024mb ram
I / O APIC enabled
1 cpu core
128mb video memory
3D/2D acceleration enabled
 
When it asks you to make a new hard drive select the aliens.vhd file then run the vm, in the vm i recommend disabling mouse integration so the mouse doesn't leave the vm (right ctrl to get the mouse back)
 
ppjoy mouse to joystick is set up in the vm for controls, sensitivity can be changed on the window that opens on startup (leave it open in the background) press ok on any avi frame errors and the game will start
 
Note: Mouse may be a bit sensitive, if it is then lower the sensitivity in windows embedded and ppjoy

I haven't tried it myself yet. I can't link directly to the forum because there's a link to the game there.
MrThunderwing:
Hooray! I managed to get this working tonight on my Windows 7 64 bit PC, using the Virtual Box method. The controls took a fair bit of fiddling with to get working, but I got there in the end.

Edit: here it is up and running
