i used to play this game ALL the time as a kid. i forgot how i how i had it back then. Floppy disk, maybe ?
Anyway, years ago, my brother got the Zork anthology, with this on it... but Return to Zork didnt work :tai: ... It made dos background noises, i think thats what its supposed to do, but the people didnt make any noises while talking, and talked REALLY fast. this was on our newer XPs, as we had gotten rid of our 98 a while ago. then, our XP stopped playing DOS games all together. i used Dos Box, but never thought of using it for Zork.
Recently, i got a laptop. It used XP, and could run DOS games perfectly. I got dos box anyway, cause Star Con wouldnt work without it for some reason <_< ... And, lo and behold, it still didnt work. I then used Dos Box, after seeing you all talk about it here. Instead of the orb guy showing upblack bar a[ for 1 second, he didnt even show up. appeared for a second. and the people didnt make any noise, like before, but didnt move fast, which is a start :P... still the background music, though.
SO... ANNOYING :wallbash: ... I WANT TO PLAY IT! I'VE BEEN WANTING TO FOR YEARS :angry:
Oh well, ya cant get everything <_<
