To everyone having problems running this game in DOSbox:

First run setup.exe and choose soundblaster pro for sounds and adlib for music. Just hit enter and accept the defaults for all the IRQ/DMA selections and then save and exit setup. It will say run bthorne to start the game but that isn't right.

Run crack.exe

To run this game properly, you next need to make sure that the cycles in DOSbox are set high enough - in the main window, press ctrl and F12 and you will see the CPU cycles in the bar at the top of the window increase from 3000 to 3500. Keep pressing ctrl and f12 until the cycles are around 12,000.

Once cycles are set to 12000 type 'black' and the game will load.

This will fix the black screen error and the error with the midi message and the game will load. It hadn't crashed before - it was just running really slow.

I hope this helps...

Because the game was made for MS-DOS.

Because then Microsoft went and gave one big "f**k you" to their every loyal customer instead of adding proper backwards compatibility in most versions of Windows.

Because the game's producer doesn't have any interest in remaking it or re-releasing a modified version that works under Windows.

Now read the goddamn tutorial. Resistance is futile.

You know it might be primitive, but it is what people used prior to 1995. And it also made you THINK, a quality most people, like the ones swearing and huffing without ANY real reason don't use anymore.

Besides, there are various ports on other systems. Just buy yourself a SNES or a Genesis or a Genesis with 32X and play it on those consoles. Problem solved, no "stupid primitive DOS language bullshit", you just have to push the power button and use a TV, which I hope you are capable of. And on the plus side, we all are spared of your beautiful and productive comments here.

Everything you need is described in beginner's guide to DOSBox.
Once you set up the automatic mounting and Norton Commander - which means in about five to fifteen minutes, thirty if you're a very slow reader - you won't have to deal with the command line interface again.

You know it might be primitive, but it is what people used prior to 1995.

It's what some (admittedly, insane) people still use. Gotta love Total Commander.
