stuck after finding the hespitus

It's one of the biggest problems of the electronic age, that our history is being thrown away due to either media life issues, compatibility issues, or legal/licensing issues.  (licenses, unless ad infinitum, are evil...)

Our history until this age has been concrete and relatively long-lived...  only now has it become disposable.

Let me put it this way:

You can easily read a book your great-great-great Grandfather brought with him on some ship almost 100 years ago, but you can't play the games I did when I was your age because you can't buy them, can't run the media they were on, or can't find the hardware that'll do the job.

It's a crime...

Hence why I try to collect older hardware for those older media.
I've got to get my self a nice VCR, Beta, and LaserDisk when I have the money.

BZC is the only chance im going to get to play BZ1. id refuse to got the illegal copy of the game purely because BZ2 general awesomeness. why go backwards?

You can find an "Xplosiv" branded BZ1 on eBay.  A friend had lost my original BZ1 discs, so I was forced to buy the game again.  It's the real game, the only difference is the splash menu when you put the disc in.

IDK WTF my BZ1 disk is. Not for resale is all I know.

My grammar in that post was appaling, and spelling.

I might get a copy of BZ1 from eBay in that case... so long as its legally available. Battlezone games are one of those series i would feel guilty illegally downloading because of the overall awesome factor.

Its been a long time since I first played and I am in the stars and stripes missions.  the mission starts out to rescue the 5 th platoon but I find an old cargo ship and the mission changes.  I now have to investigaate the starport to find the database but my problem occurs when I see three buildings in the starport and none of them have the database in them.  I soon get removed from command for not following orders but I check every building and it can not be found.  Am I missing something?

Ok, the problem is it's not recognizing that you checked all the buildings with the "I" key.

I noticed that if your on win2k or newer OS and the fps is high, it messes up mission timers. If that is the case turn on vsync and set the monitors refresh rate at 60Hz.

AFAIK we've already fixed it?

I never had any problems with identifying the buildings and so on. Back like 11-10 years ago when I was a kid, and didn't quite comprehend everything, I didn't realize you must use the I key to identify the Hephaestus, causing me to fail the mission already at that point. But that was because I didn't know how to. Nothing wrong with my game. Sad to see that people are having problems with theirs, though.

It's already been said several times... Just turn off "Strategy Help" in the Game Options menu...  I remember having the same problem, and turning off Strategy Help solved all my problems.

I ran into this problem too when I first started out.  Took me like a bajillion tries until I figured out that if you fly up to one of the structures and hit I key a few times then do the same at the other structures it solves the issue.  Kinda seemed like my first I attempt was missed by the computer.
