Default Twilight 2000 computer game

Normally I wouldn't talk about this game as it was less than satisfactory IMHO. But did anyone download the Colonel upgrade? What was in it?

thanks

I think I can honestly say this

"There was a T2K computer game?"

Guys, I don't think he's asking about the computer game here. He's asking about the expansion to the computer game... as in has anyone who played the game also played the upgrade.

I can sum up the game and the expansion with a few words: Don't, just don't buy them. And I just thought of this, they might not even run on modern computers.

Most old (DOS) games will run on modern comps using DOSBOX. Whether you'll be happy with the really crappy old graphics is another story.

Done it, and hate to admit it, but playing now. It's even crappier than I remembered, but also soooo addictive!
From what I can see, the "upgrade" simply adds some "litter" to the battlefield - a few bricks, the odd bottle and other general rubbish. All in all rather disappointing.

Im playing right now..Into the 12th mission. LOL yeah the game is crappy but it is addicting, and sadly its the ONLY twilight 2000 I have ever played. And I did not know the pc game doubled as a table top character generator! Make sense now theres so many useless skills, and even a space for contacts which are never found in the game.

Sadly I cannot get the game to print the character sheets. Probably something to do with dosbox.

Perhaps taking a screen shot and printing that? Better than writing it out by hand...
