Ok I cant get this game to work, i read the forum but im still having the same problem. I run setup and use the soundblaster 16, then i type in AI and i get all the info then i type in game and i get the thing that says type in ai to run the game and when i do i just get the system info again and thats it. I dont know what the hell to do. any ideas? thanks

oh ya im running this in dosbox and im using XP

Exact location of the game on your hard drive and the MOUNT command you're using, please.

[paradigm76]

C: drive, then in a file called dosbox, then in a file called alien incident.

mount c c:\dosbox
c:
cd alieni~1
then i go from there with the setup etc

IIRC, the game directory MUST be named AI for it to work. Try renaming it and running the game again.

I renamed the alien incident file on my c drive to AI and tried all the same steps and no go, i still get the message about the mouse being found but no cd rom drives found. this sucks lol

The game needs a CDDrive, or it will not work.
Delete what you've done t'll now.
Start from scratch and do it the usual way:
Unzip the whole thing in (Also the subdirs!)
c:\oldgames\ai\
run dosbox and input:
mount c c:\oldgames\
mount d c:\oldgames\ -t cdrom
c:
cd ai
setup

Choose 'autodetect soundcard' , works fine.
Run game with ai

Next time you wanna play:
mount c c:\oldgames\
mount d c:\oldgames\ -t cdrom
c:
cd ai
ai

I'm having trouble, but I read your guide, and will try now

to dosraider, I'm a user with the same problem as paradigm.....I did what you said and holy shit, the game just worked, I can't thank you enough
*bows in gracious gratitude*

*squeals with utter joy* :nuts:

This game has been a big surprise to me: nice story,nice dialogue,nice sound and grapics and logical puzzle,the only bad aspect is that the game is very short.Anyway this adventure is absolutely recommended.

I give it a 4

@dosraider

thanks for the config settings, now my Ai works.
i still got some speed probs but i think it can handle it.

Yea, just got to the climax of the game like the others said, and the damn thing said to "Please insert Alien Incident CD back to drive and press enter"

...oh come on! Man, it was going so good.
