Hi all: I have the game running pretty good in windows xp, there is only one problem...the resolution! every time I try to increase it, the game crashes! whats up with this? Is it a compatibility problem with xp or is there something I'm missing? (it does the same thing in Dosbox) one other thing, this game was released in 97 right!.... then why on earth did'ent they make a windows 95 version?? :blink: just curious!
you need nolfb.com

check out the site jjxb linked, then maybe my crazy running blood tips page

as for why it was in DOS in `97... the build engine code was for dos, and also back in those days there wasnt a lot of memory in computers (average about 8 or 16mb, maybe 32), and win95 used too much just to load itself, for there to be much empty for a high performance game. it wasnt until directx improved in speed, and 3d cards and more ram arrived that windows games that needed a lot of performance came out more often.
