Totally Lost

[native57]

Decided to pull this childhood favorite out and fire it up. I install it, all the setup colors are all messed up and after it installs I try to fire up the game and get sent to a DOS screen that can't find the disc and to insert it into the cdrom.

Any help would be wonderful.

PS. I'm running XP

Hi,

The original DOS version of the game will not run under XP. You can make it work using DOSbox, or you can purchase the XP version online, which is what I did.

One thing about the XP version: every now and again some German print pops up in the menues. It doesn't affect game play, but is a bit annoying.

Regards,

I had heard about the DoxBox idea and fiddled around with it for a couple of hours but wasn't able to get it going.

I tried to purchase the XP edition from zuxxez and wasn't given any delivery options to the US. Anyone aware of a place where I can just pay and then download the XP version?

Hi,

Check the other thread we've talked on; there is a download available from the zuxxez.com site.

Thanks for your help. I was able to figure out DosBox and that got it running.

Thanks again for your help.
