Status : Offline | A must play game 8-) starring Michael Dorn ( aka Worf from ST-TNG ), It has been in my replay list for ages
It has actually been so long since playing it I have forgotten what happened on the planet ,but it is slightly weird? . Also wasn't fixing the Air leak and defusing the Bomb timed ? The inventory was a delight and the puzzles based on things you would have to do to repair a space ship like getting you spacesuit working etc..
I actually played the strategy game and its not so hard , I'm playing C&C Tiberium wars at the moment so RTS is my second favourite game type after Adventure ( of course) so another reason to like the game
Does it work under XP ? or I'm i going to have to use Virtual PC or DOSBox ?it says win95 but several games don't work with my graphics card , having finally got STTNG a final unity working under DOSbox it will be played after that
Playing ME3-Citadel ,TOMB raider ,Skyrim Dragonborn

Status : Offline | Using virtual PC. Couldn't get it working under XP. The only truly timed thing so far was a leak of coolant or something. The music at that point was rather menacing and the whole thing made me a nervous wreck! Have only seen Michael Dorn in the opening sequence which is disappointing as I'm a great fan of ST TNG. Some very surprising events happening on the planet!

Status : Offline | Could not resist having a look ,no luck with XP , sound wouldn't configure ? I wonder if VDMsound would work? , so as you say I ran it a win95 emulation using Virtual PC with just the odd sound hiccup ,
Your right the computer just warns you ,but nothing seems to be timed ,but I've only plugged the hole so far and prevented meltdown
Just to show how much technology on PC has changed in 13 years since it came out ( it still looks good ) , here a Picture of it running on my PC under emulation

Anyone else's thoughts on this game? (without telling me what is going to happen to me on the planet)
I think I wrote a review a while back, so some of my thoughts might be in there
IIRC the game gets a lot more interesting on the planet and the story goes off in an unexpected direction. Mission Critical has one of the most intriguing sci-fi stories I've ever encountered.
I forgot my sig.

Status : Offline | Yes, seems like it was sound problems that drove me to using virtual PC. I have died plenty of times even without there being true timed sequences.
Yes, Michal, one of the most unique, coolest sci-fi stories I have come across. Makes ya think. One part/thing in the story made me run off and read more about qubits!

Status : Online | I thought this game was great. I remember the when I first got the game in 95, I stopped playing it because I got stuck. Then, several years ago, I'm pretty sure I used dosbox. It has a great story, great puzzles, and the FMV sequences are awesome.
@vala: yea that combat strategy scene was SOMETHING else....It wasn't bad, just totally unexpected
