Default Save game

Hi, guys.
Thanks for the help with the errors, the patch and the new file did the trick. Can now run on XP without any of those bugs.
But I'm still not able to save games, any hints (except installing windows in dosbox)?

But even running the game via win3 doesn't help for saving games, though - so I'm still just about as far with the original problem.

Jesus Christ lord allmighty. Sorry for my stupidity. Just have to press ENTER when saving...

Thanks for the tip regarding the win3, though - that'll solve some issues I have with other games!

Default First Time

Hi, guys. I've spent about 2 hours scouring forums and reading&following tutorials. This is my first time installing a DOS game. I've tried to install this game on both Boxer and dosbox but neither works. I don't know whether I've skipped some steps but I don't have much exp running codes and the such.

On both boxer and dosbox i get the same message that "this program requires microsoft windows"

What am I doing wrong? I'm operating on Mac os x 10.5 and using boxer (latest version)

First game I looked up when I found out about dos through a youtube video. Holiday Island was my childhood! Thanks in advance for your help!

Obviously, the game requires Microsoft Windows

I guess your best option would be to install Windows 3.x in DOSBox and run the game there. Or you can just download the preconfigured Win3.11 here.
