Don't try to install it, it's already 'pre-installed'. After you download & unzip it, just use phantom.bat in DosBox to start the game.

I didn't even sit still for the intro! If you click through the intro, the game won't go right to the opening menu screen? Is that what you mean? Hmm.

sal, try setting: core normal and cycles max before you start the game in dosbox

also, try the newest dosbox 0.73

I've never played this game before. It looks cool though. I'll have to give it a try.

@RocknRolla1-2
Quote:
Error "-32" in module "5" data: 0 0
most recent memory check 464944
most recent dos error 2
stack use indicator 10105
I got the same error, so here is what worked for me:
After you copied everything you should mount the folder like this:
Example:
Your game is at E:\GAMES\_DOS\PHANTOM
(inside you have the 2 folders PHANTOM & RESOURCE)

In the DOSBOX.CONF file ad the following:
MOUNT C E:\GAMES\_DOS\PHANTOM

And like somebody else already mentioned: Change CORE and CYCLES:
CORE=NORMAL
CYCLES=MAX

Save the file, open DOSBox and try again:
CD PHANTOM
PHANTOM

If your sound doesn't work you have to change the configuration with INSTALL.EXE in the PHANTOM folder to your sound card settings.

Hope that'll help

I managed to get the CD-version of the game working nice, but I'm encountering random freezes. Literally, freezes.

Mouse freezes completely, music plays but I cannot ALT+TAB or ALT+F4 out of DosBox. I can CTRL+ALT+DEL to 640x480 16-color Task Manager, where I can end DosBox's task and return to Windows properly. I'm using DosBox 0.72 with Dynamic core setting (Normal or Auto causes severe music stuttering and FPS hiccups) and 12k cycles for smooth gameplay.

Anyone else had the same issue?

(I'm on my way to upgrade to DosBox 0.73, but just wanted to see if this was any more widespreaded problem)

@ RocknRolla1-2's "Error "-32" in module "5" data: 0 0" -error, I had the same but I got past this by simply copying the installation to root of my C drive (so I had C:\PHANTOM and C:\RESOURCE). You can mount a subdirectory straight so that the game thinks it's operating in root whereas it's not, as advised above, but I did it this way.
