Hmm, my PC is P4 2.4 Ghz and I only use 11500 cycles, the game is fast enough then... :? Perhaps 15000 is already too much for your CPU and it becomes sluggish?

I tried to install it in ms-dos ( Win 98 ) But it keeps asking for disk1. So i tried burning it to disk, but i still get the same message. Even when i just try to run u8.exe without installing in dos, it comes up with "Abnormal Exception" without starting up. Any suggestions?

Asking for disk1???... :? You don't need to quit Windows 98 and start in Ms-Dos mode to play the game, just run the game with the Dos-prompt linkage in your startmenu.
Anyway, if this doesn't help, try to play the game with DosBox, which you can get on this site, the game should run without problems there. Btw, you better use DosBox in Windows XP, not 98, because Windows XP is faster for Windows programs than Windows 98.

I know that Pagen was one of the last hand drawn games made, for it's time. It was also one of the most detailed hand drawen games ever. With the most fps. for a hand drawen game. I'm not sure if that has changed after 1994. Anyway I thought someone should mention it, after the enourmous amount of man hour's that went into it.

And I must say it is a wonderful game indeed...except it also runs choppy with DosBox for me...

found a rather shocking fact!! :shock:

dosbox actually works better with windows 2000 coz when i played pagan, it doesn't get choppy.. i repeat, it DOESN'T get choppy.. same with other games..

hope this helps.. :)

Well, under Windows XP on my PC it isn't choppy at all... :?

eric10051981 10-08-2004 06:55 AM
