Insanecabbage Posted December 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I've put the stuff from the link into the folder, cool puts a number of bits in now, but i've read about there being a dos and a windows version does the dos version have a .bat and the windows a .exe to actually run the game, cause i'm unsure of what release of the game i have and this i believe could the problem with the game crashing.

Jman4117 Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Can you look and see if there are some .mid files in the sound directory? If you have midi's, you have the Windows version. If not it is the DOS version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrus Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Well I've found one on the eBay for $25 or so. But on eBay you have a sort of bidding system so the final price may be greater (The starting price was around $5 Here's the link But I start to think that the best solution to all this XP problems is just to install in addition to it some older OS like Win98 or even Win95. It has a FAR LESS problems with old Dos programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeFireLight Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 befor you spend the money. you may want to try runing the dos version in DosBox 0.60 this is a dos emulator and giving your systems speed it can handle the over head and still run the game at a decent speed. (similar to an old 486) DosBox is freeware and you can get it here -Blade FireLight ps. if you have problems seting it up I can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
