For the cdrom problem, Use DOSBox 0.65 or 71 (and newer). Not 0.70

Ok, I set up dosbox and went to install the game. Whenever I try to pick a location to install it it says, "That is not a valid Hard Disk Drive. Please choose another Hard Disk and path." I have C:\ mounted for my HDD and I have an empty file named C:\vidjagames. I have tried these two and the one that the game gives you as a default. Please Help!

First: DOS and DOSBox have problems with file/folder names longer than 8 characters. Try a shorter name. If that doesn't help, please post the path of your hdd folder in Windows, and your mount command.

I also get the message, "That is not a valid Hard Disk Drive. Please choose another Hard Disk and path." My path is 'newgames' folder(8 characters) My mounted drive is C, same as I am attempting the install of Genesia CD content into.

Anyways, I played and overcame my enemies in this one back when I purchased the game for windows95 OS. It worked well in that OS.

I won it without ever getting to finish out the techno tree and am still wishing I could play it to its fullest. Bombing enemies from hot air balloons was a hoot!

The graphics I remember were different in the original game. Particularly, your villagers pictures if you clicked on them or their house. I remember them being less... cartoony? It's really an insanely minor difference but I couldn't help but notice.
