Old-School Warcraft I

[FlamingSputnik]

As lame as it may sound, I still play WC1. Infact, I like playing it so much that I want to transfer it over to my stone-age laptop. I installed the full version (data, music, everything) onto my Desktop, then transfered to the Laptop via LapLink. The program starts fine, but asks for the CD when I try to select game type. This is a problem, becuase my laptop lacks CD rom drive capabilities "sad". I tried re-writing bits in the program and dat files to trick it into reading from the hard drive, but haven't had any luck yet.


I am wondering if anybody knows a trick on how to get it running. (No-CD Patch, File from WC Disk, Whatever...)

It may be a little too old-school, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

it doesnt jus sound sad.....it is sad. Man they created wc2 and wc3 for a reason, they made it better. wc1 was kinda horrible and i cant think of a reason why any1 would play

You technically could create a CD image on one of your other computer using Alcohol 120%. Then you could transfer the image onto the laptop and load it up using Alcohol.

Download it... Blizzard wont mind losing what ever the game would cost.

Warcraft I can't be horrible... it was $65.95 when it came out and people paid that =)

Because back then people had no idea what it wold be like. If you see a car for $200,000, and you had the money, would you buy it? It ends up being a peace of shit car and a friend asks you, 'Why the hell did you buy this?' what would you tell them. (think about it)

Ya... that top part may make no sense.

I guess what i sayin is people bought it cuz theyd never played a game like it. Therefore, they wouldnt have a problem shellin out $66ish for it.

Either way the gfx in WC1 were so bad i thought my eyes were gonna start bleeding.
