Now... is it that the poor guy is just deluded, or is Apogee lying and usurping ownership of a copyright that does not belong to them anymore?

1. Don't attempt to install it, it's already in the installed state. Simply extract the contents of the downloaded archive to some folder, best one with 8 letters only for display / type compatibility in DosBox.
2. Download DosBox from here, read the helpful instruction on it here, and play the game in DosBox. Increase the emulation speed (CPU cycles) with CTRL+F12 (decrease with CTRL+F11) and all should be fine.

Greetings,

I'm running this game on DOSbox, and not having any problems, except for one rather major one: it WILL NOT save. It allows me into the save menu just fine, but does it save? Nooooo. Am I simply stupid, and missing something obvious? Or is there something far more sinister at work?

Any help would be appreciated.

Check if the game directory/files happen to be set to "read only".

They were set to read only, unfortunately changing that setting hasn't solved the problem. I think it's a glitch in the game itself, as when you return from the save menu the bottom half of the screen (player info, radar map and all that) doesn't go back to normal -- it remains an image of the save menu. The various bits of info return as you use that particular function, but the whole thing never goes back to normal. (If that makes any sense at all. I'm very tired at the moment, also ill, and not thinking very clearly.)

Very frustrating.

Hmm. Did you try to change output to overlay (or ddraw) in Dosbox.conf? That helped me when I was encountering this sort of issues in some other games.

For those having trouble saving, I had the exact same problem. However, have you tried saving the game in slot 5? Because for some reason, it actually saves the game if you save it in slot 5. Hope that helps.

PS this game is way cool.

Just tried saving in other slots, and slots 2, 3 and 4 also work.
