I first played the game back in 1992 I believe on a 486 computer, and it required a 3 1/2 boot disk with a special autoexec and config file to get the memory settings right for sound. Later, I put it on a Pentium 100mhz system in 1998, and the same was required with a different disk but same modifications. Both these times meant there was no sound at all when ran unless ran off the boot disk.
Now, using dosbox I can get it to run fine. Only problem is that certain sounds aren't working, and those being the ones I described at post. When you run it in dosbox, can you hear the girl talk?
Many games in the early to mid `90s had two audio settings if I remember right... You set your sound-source twice in those old dos-based games, but this one only gives me one in setup. Not sure how to change that in dosbox if it's possible,...but maybe that's all I'm needing. Which brings me to here; hoping someone has done this and knows what I'm talking about...
