Battlecruiser Generations Live!

It took some doing, but I finally completed it. This is how it all started. While I wasn't entirely certain that the DOS games would even work, advances in DOXbox technology worked wonders.

Surprisingly - because of Windows, legacy DirectX and all that, I spent a lot more time getting both WIN games, Battlecruiser Millennium - 2001 & Battlecruiser Millennium Gold - 2003, to work in WIN10. Go figure.

In the end, and as always, I had a faithful group of Battlecruiser fans who helped test as I released build after build - which failed Steam review twice in 48 hours. heh. ːsteammockingː
