Hi Shaun, I don't think it does. That's most likely why I could not get it to work on Windows 7. My Windows laptop has an AMD 64-bit processor and a copy of 64-bit Windows. A lot of older games and apps won't work right on that machine. Especially, the 16-bit apps from older versions of

Hi Darren, I would not say that. I think my problem is just that my copy of Windows is 64-bit not 32-bit and there is a lot of older stuff that won't run quite right on 64-bit Windows. If I tried it on 32-bit Windows I'd imagine I could get it working. Plus there is a program for Mac and Linux

Hi Charles, No. Totally different from Lone Wolf. For one thing Silent Steel is set in the modern day, I'd say around the early 1980's, and it is a story where a U.S. Submarine is out on a training mission when they encounter some Soviet ships and submarines. As the story unfolds what starts out
