Balance of Power 1985
I have BOP 1985 but am unable to get it to run. I've tried DOS Box with no success (The DOS Box site lists it as questionable, so no real shock there) and I've tried MS Virtual PC running DOS. Still no luck. BOP 1990 runs fine under Windows, but the 1985 version ran under DOS when I bought it back in '85.
Any suggestions anyone? Thanx, Buddha |

The DOSBox site lists it as broken, but says that it asks for Win1.0. So you (and they) can't say if it works in DOSBox as long as you didn't test it with Win1.0. It doesn't work under Win3.x by the way, they say.

Finally working
After downloading a bootable BOP 1985 image from [BEEEP], I finally got this one running using VirtualBox: http://www.virtualbox.org/.
I can't get a display using VPC, DOSBox, or VMWare, but VirtualBox handles it fine. Thanx to all who tried to assist me. Buddha Last edited by The Fifth Horseman; 19-06-2010 at 10:27 PM. Reason: No linking to warez. |
