How do you run the DOS command MEM? And when you do the install, how do you get past the part where it says "Insert disk in drive * and press enter." ? :shock:

There is no need to. Just unzip the file and run the game.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but here goes anyway. I found a way to run MoO under XP ^_^ If the game window displays an error then closes immediatly, watch it. It SHOULD say something like it needs \"at least 1024kb of expanded memory\". What you do, is go to Properties, then Memory, and change Expanded(EMS) memory to 1024. This allows it to run under XP :D And if something else is wrong, then sorry. That's the only error I got, and now I can run it normally.
This is what Aladar means

hi, really nice page you got here :)
one little problem with that great game here, is it just me or is there no sound?

If you play it in plain Windows XP, there'll be no sound. Try playing the game under DosBox, which you can download on this site under Utility - Programs, then you'll have sound and music.

More EMS help
 
Great site.

Even with the beforementioned tips, EMS still might not be available (was not for me). The solution I found here:

http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/wpdos/emsxp.html

You have to disable Legacy USB support (or in my case USB Keyboard support) in your system's BIOS settings.

Now, can anyone explain to me what EMS and USB keyboards have to do with each other? no idea.. anyways, the game works now.

Have fun with a great game!
