Unhappy

I can't get this game to work for some reason. I have it downloaded right but whenever I try to either go to chaplin.exe or overlay.exe, neither seem to work. In the description of the game it says you have to change the machine to tandy? How do I do that? Oh, by the way I'm trying to play it on dosbox.

Do you need help on DOSBox?
There are many pages on that.

No, I think it's just the game because I seem to able to play other games on dosbox okay, but I just can't run this game. I downloaded it, I typed cd charlie. That takes me to the dir for the game the only exe's on there is chaplin and overlay and neither work. When I type chaplin it gives me the message, bad disk.

The game works well with W98SE. No need for DosBox or to restart in Dos mode.

Like I said in the review - run the OVERLAY.exe. But you need to change a little something before that.

Before you run DOSBox you should open the DOSBox.conf file, and change the line where it says
machivne=VGA
to
machine=tandy

Then it will work (you need to change the graphic mode).

Something isn't right with the review. It appears to start in the middle of a sentence:

Did something get chopped?

This game is Ok. Was created in 1988, and the graphics and movemens are corrects. The picture is nice and de music too.

I live in Argentina. In Spanish:

El juego es bueno, ya que tiene aproximadamente 20 a?os y a pesar de ello tiene buena jugabilidad. Yo lo tengo hace 15 a?os. La música acompa?a y los gráficos son simpáticos.

Por favor alguien que hable espa?ol, aquí espero vuestros comentarios.

You're right.

This part got choped off (and I'm not sure why - I guess it was a copy paste oversight on my behalf):
