I own the game (though I'll have to locate my install file and SN). I can't recall but does the game have some kind of multiplayer? The Matrix page says '1-2 players' but also says no PBEM. Is it LAN? Hotseat?

It's direct IP play IIRC.  Which should be fine because a game doesn't last all that long.

PBEM only for multiplayer.

*sigh*  This thread inspired me to try to fire up my old, old, old copy of Carrier Strike.  Got it sorta working in Windows 7 XP Mode, but I guess its true, you can't go home again :(

It works just fine in DOSBox.  This was a favorite of mine for years!

I was going to ask about DOSBox. I haven't used it on Win 7.

I use DOSBox with DOSShell and they work just fine on Win7.  Used it just today for a game of 3R PC.

Cool. I used DOSBox quite a bit on XP. Ran my most of my old games beautifully.

Wasted invested many an hour in that game back in 92-93 or so. Would love to fire it up again. Can't do CAW at Matrix for forty bucks...
