I've played hours since discovering this game and I have been searching lots of sites where the game is discussed and finally I have a few hints and one big question. But first things first:
It is still possible to find a copy of this game with installation files in it so that you can install life and death but its a bit tricky. Have to rename the given disk in the folder... After installing you download the game from abandonia and copy the .exe into your installed version. Thats the way to fix the sound problem. Works fine for me. Now I can hear the heart-rhythm of my "victims" and react quicker.
Then I tried different versions of dosbox to run the game and I have to say that 0.73 is not the best choice. On 0.65 it runs quite fine while on 0.73 I always had problems with my mouse
But I'll have to check out older versions of dosbox because there seems to be a major problem: whenever I try to cut the Dura Mater my game crashed - on dosbox 0.73. Every time I got to the final line for the diamond shape dosbox closed.
In 0.65 dosbox seems to be more stable, so no more crashes - but the mouse begins to behave crazy when I try to put the final cut. I can't control it any longer... And it's impossible to operate on with the keyboard because you have hardly control with the arrow keys...
Any suggestions to that matter?
Maybe an older dosbox version may help...
