for values less than 28, you have to go through special gyrations (these were "control characters" for DOS).

Actually, the control characters date back to the days of the typewriter, or rather, teletypes. More upon request. Actually, I came here looking for a means of making screenshots – ye goode olde printscreen returnse false colors and whatnot, it's not even psycedelic (or very much so). --Schnobs 19:39, 2 November 2007 (PDT)

CE? Press F12 - screens will be stored as .tga files in the game directory. - NKF 19:44, 2 November 2007 (PDT)

I play the DOS version via DosBox. When I have the game full screen, any PrintScreen attempt looks like pure crap, with apparently only a few things being captured. But all I have to do is un-fullscreen, by Alt-Tabbing out (NOT by Ctrl-Enter). Once back to regular WinXP, I just PrintScreen. Yes, XCOM is then only a smaller box on my whole desktop, but all the colors are right, etc. I can crop the XCOM window and magnify it if I want.

Does that help? Hmm, that Info page could probably use this note about screencaps. And NKF's too. - MikeTheRed 19:48, 2 November 2007 (PDT)
