I'm still playing Terror From The Deep and UFO Enemy Unknown in Win XP Pro SP1 with the XP Patches I found online and not in DosBox or anything like that. The first time I played the game I had to use the monitor button controls on the front of my 17" Iiyama Vision Master Pro CRT to reduce the screen size to fit as the game runs in a 'DOS mode' under XP. The buttons on the front of my monitor access the menu controls for image adjustment such as 'move horizontal/vertical left/right/up/down' and also 'resize image' so it was easy to shrink the image to fit on screen. The X-Com games are brill and I'll be trying to get Apocalypse running under XP soon. I understand from the forum topics that this definitely needs DosBox to run it properly.
