Crusader: No Regret help

Where's the keycard to the 'secret room' near the start? Is it anywhere
on the main floor of the first level? I've just about searched
everywhere without result. All that's left are the large, green
containers but most are filled with radioactive-waste containers or
security 'bots. The FAQ at www.gamefaqs.com does not specific where the
key is to be found.

Heh, now that's what I call optimism; asking for help with an
extremely a specific question about a game released 10 years ago that
doesn't even run natively on modern PCs.

I'm eagerly waiting to see if anybody actually can answer this ;-)

I still have the Prima Strategy guide for No Regret :} Unfortunately I
don't have a scanner :{


Let's see if this helps:


"Reaching Secret Room:

Walk the servomech over the pressure plate, which will open a security
panel. This, in turn, opens the way to the secret room. The servomech will
attack you if it's still alive when you enter. To kill it,position it
immediately next to something that can explode, and have the servomech fire
until the object blows up. Do this until the servomech is destroyed. Enter
the secret room, and destroy the pile of boxes in the corner to reveal the
door to another room containing a shotgun, a data-pick, a VIR chip and other
goodies."

It was a long shot and fortunately it worked! I lucked out I guess. <g>
I thought I'd never play it again once I upgraded to Windows XP, but
with the latest DOSBox release it's playable once again. Isometric
shooters hit their pinnacle with the Crusader series unfortunately. I
haven't seen much since No Regret came out except for that one a few
years back. I think it was called.. Zax?

That was just what I needed. Thanks! I didn't realize there was a
pressure plate in there before.

I still have fond memories of CNR. I played the hell out of that game and I
still consider it to be one of my favorite games after all these years. All
the ways you could kill and enemy was so over the top for it's time! I
bought Zax when it can out hoping it would give me some of the fun that CNR
had given me, but the controls where horrible and the game was pretty
boring. Nothing compared to CNR. So is it hard to get DOS Box up and running
with XP? I haven't tried to run CNR since I played all those years ago. I
still have the game and would love to give it another go. TIA. JLC

Indeed! You wouldn't believe the way Origin blended auto-sensors and
pressure plates into the environment; some are impossible to distinquish
even on close inspection.

Phew.

How very heroic of you. I'm sure your mommy is very proud of you.

Not at all! DOSBox is very easy to use: it has an auto-installer and
once it's installed and launched all you have to do is mount the various
drives you need. For me this usually amounts to typing a few lines:

mount c c:\
mount d d:\

Then it's good to go from there!

that's ok and very useful cause of the break we had to make in
pc games changing operating system but that games and other old
dos games deserved a proper full win32 port

you would pick the source code of that game port it to win32 and
it would not cost much to do so and them sell it in a budget
edition for less than 5 bucks and i bet you it would be a good
success

i've been saying this over and over again, many of the old dos
pc game classics should be ported with quality to win32, they
deserve it and i believe the market would reward the publishers
doing it

I picked up ZAX last year at, of all places, Mervyn's (a department
store) for two dollars on a clearance shelf. I'm enjoying it muchly; I
don't have the "lousy controls" complaint that JLC voiced. At two bucks,
it's an excellent value. I might have paid as much as fifteen for this
game.

Never played the Crusader games though.

What is the stupid jackass nattering about now? It usually doesn't post
except to froth about STEAM but I can't tell what the above is about.

Hahahahaha.
Mainstream gamers aren't going to accept 320x200 256 colour graphics.
