I have a few questions before I download Stranded 2 :

1. Will Stranded 2 work on my Windows Xp. (I'm planing on using my windows XP to play this game, and I don't if the drivers will support the game. I have the latest versions of Java and Adobe Flash, I do not know my version of Direct X.)

2. Does Stranded 2 change any program files/unknown files (I have installed games in the past that change unknown files and other files to different things. These tend to affect my other games such as my emulators, making the file unplayable.)

3.Any general information before I download this game would be helpful.

Hi, i am running Stranded II on XP and i didnt experience any problems, and i have quite a lot of other games installed too, so you also should have no problems about that.

General information... well... try to play through the tutorial map, followed by the whole adventure, and if you still like it, try the modifications e.g. the 2.5.Leaf-Patch or Massive Mod.

BUT before installing mods, you really should go through the adventure.

Yes, this game was wrote using Blitz3D, which uses DirectX 7 instructions. So any XP installation with current updates will have the ability to play this.

this game does not modify anything outside of its own folder, meaning you can move the folder anywhere and it will still run perfectly well. "Portability"... It's what originally drew me to the game.

This game has a pretty basic tutorial, but the majority of the game is finding things out, so don't expect the game to "walk you through" the level... See it more like a free-roaming RPG, where you can attent to missions as an when you want.
