<- Is curious ... downloads, test 1 .. 2 .. 3.. and
Nice work.
For those interested: runs flawless.
You can run it by usual virtual C: mount or even by drag&drop.
Both work flawless.

so now that it runs, is anyone playing this game?

I'm having repeated problems with the game crashing after startup.
Happens particularly when talking to others.
I suspect a shortage of memory is the problem or wrong setting for CPU cycles.
Does anyone know what is the best configuration for Windows XP?

I thought the game was a lot smaller when I helped someone from our forums get it running. Then again, there were no videos. Are they important?

Hi all....just registered here.

Two things:

1) I can't defeat the dragon no matter what I do. I've aimed for the eye dead-on. I have the dragon stone, dragon armor, dragon-slaying lance, and St. George's shield. I've tried hitting different locations on the dragon's body. Etc. Nothing works. I keep thinking maybe I'm missing an object, but I've successfully courted every lady but Adela (found out no difference in items between Wendessa and Victoria). So what do I have to do?

2) I really like the character generation list. Unfortunately, the window cuts off the list without any scroll option, so I haven't been able to view the whole list.

On the whole, Conqueror is a fun game, even with its quirks. It would be nice to see a newer, updated version to expand the game and storyline....and without all the bugs which plagued the original.

Is the dragon unkillable? I don't even know where to find the items anymore, but I found them all years ago and died every time. Only way I have even been able to win is by killing the king. Any help with the dragon would be appreciated.

Indeed, and after some tests I found you can make this game run without having to mount the CD subdirectory as the CD drive, and no matter what path it is located under. Here's how:
Move everything from the \CD\ subdirectory - including the CONQUER subdirectory - to the main game directory, but do not overwrite the existing conquer.ini. Overwriting a duplicated GOB file is OK. You can now remove both batch files (optional, but they're useless from now on). Now, change the paths in conquer.ini to:

GOB=.\
AUD_DRV=.\
CD_PATH=.\CONQUER\

Ta-dah!

This is a fascinating game. However, it is also obtuse as hell!

I'm going to try and dig up a manual for this one, because for the life of me I can't figure out what I'm doing.

I obtained the manual/reference card from sierragamers.com.
hope it helps. If you have any specific queries, ask away.
I think too laterally for this image verification thing (I suck at it).
