Run the game in Dosbox, use this Tutoiral to help you set it up.

Default thanks

Thanks, I downloaded DosBox and am going to try that. I did get the game to finally run on just Windows XP by tweaking some of the compatibility settings but interestingly, when I run the "runme.exe" file the game starts up and still asks me for a code and won't just accept any number as is mentioned online here. Really odd, so I still can't play it. I'll try it in DosBox and see if it runs any better, maybe the Runme file will work better there. I wish I could remember some of the code numbers associated with the pictures, this would all be much easier. I'm still looking for my old manual, hopefully I didn't toss it.
Thanks for the tips

Default Dosbox unsuccessful

Just tried DosBox to run the game, and got it to run through there but when I start the game using the runme.exe file that is supposed to bypass the copy protection page, it still won't let me enter any old number and boots me out of the game again. Seems like maybe the runme.exe file might not be working. I'm going to try downloading the whole thing again and see what happens

I just downloaded the file, extracted it (why it is a HotUD version I don't know we should see about getting that sorted...by we I mean me) and the runme worked. Remember to enter a 4 digit code.

Default finally!

I downloaded the game again, and tried to re-run the runme.exe file in DosBox and this time it finally worked! Now the game is running. I just need to tweak it some more to get sound and I'm all set. Thanks for the help!

Run the install file and change it to soundblaster and you will get the wonderful sound. Just another thing that needs to be changed in the archive we host.

Okay some news for the people who like this game we have updated the archive onsite so it does not use the Home of the Underdogs extractor and instead is a normal zip. The sound settings have also been fixed to be set to Soundblaster so you no longer need to edit that either.

To get past the copy protection use the runme.bat file in Dosox, have fun and enjoy.
