Oh wow, this is like Christmas morning, I've been looking forward to this for a long time.

Crusader No Remorse now runs near flawlessly on my old laptop! Miracle!

to prove to you that this is not just marketing talk, we've prepared an update that was tested and discovered to be compatible ONLY with the new version. That's right, it won't work with VDMSound or any of the older versions of DOSBox. The game in question is Gloriana (a.k.a. Elizabeth I) and we have been waiting for ages to publish it as it's a wonderful blend of strategy and adventure that will keep you glued to the screen for hour
