Crossman, I don't know what's up with your setup, but just out of curiosity I copied it to C:\XS in a DOSBox clone on Android and it worked first time. I had to hit escape to pass the cracktro, but then I got through the menus and into a game easily.

And unfortunately this hack was hacked to only work on computers, not on an android or anything else that's not a computer, since everything else works under my emulator and recognizes its location as c: except for this hack of a game. I'll just have fun with my Quake game which occupies less space on my device and not this hack of a game that occupies much more space and it's not even worth the download :-D

V. Correction, "V"... Quake was released on June 22, 1996,by the famous "id software", who created the engine that made the games that followed a legend, you know, the ones that paved the way for whatever it is you're enjoying now... Whereas this game was released 6 months later by SCI, who I never even heard of, on December 31 of the same year. So NO, "XS" DIDN'T PIONEER ANYTHING!!! If ANYTHING, it FOLLOWED a trend ALREADY ESTABLISHED by id SOFTWARE, who will NEVER LOSE THE STANDING OF PIONEERS, EVER!!!

I played this game tons of hours, localized in italian. It was the first time i had to aim with the mouse, it was clunky and not polished, but pionnered a concept later popular with Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament. What makes this game unique it's his survival nature, without ways of replenish health and lot other fun features (just one: the player can set explosive cameras and stay hidden somewhere, activate that camera and whait for an enemy to pass by and explode it in his face, lol). i always praised it in italian forums but, really, nobody played it.

I bought this from a bargain bin in Beatties back in the 90s, and asides from the awesome cutscenes every single character had, it was *awful*. And that was then! This is now, and my opinion still hasn't changed!

This game works. But strangely enough you absolutely need to have it installed in the following path c:\XS\
If you have it in any subfolder, or other directory you will get errors when trying to launch it.

this is NOT WORKING, tried it with dosbox but it seems like it's one of those HACKED BY SOMEONE games, hacked by someone called hybrid so it seems it is in fact NOT an abandonware game....what a shame.
