Try switching screen resolution in the in-game options.

It works on that smaller resolution, but it's like 300x300 or something, a bit too small if you ask me. Any ideas how to get it work on that normal resolution?

dosraider, you have that win98 running on your VPC? What kind of settings you have?

This game behave strangely with resolutions. On my machine, when I go from the higher to the lower resolution it actually slow the game down to a playable speed level.

This is an old DOS game made runnable in Windows. I remember playing the shareware DOS version a loooong time ago... Then the Windows version popped up and it was probably for Win 3.11 too. The game is probably using strange video settings for SVGA and VGA... Nothing much you can do about that I think.

At the very least you can get comfort in knowing that the lower resolution is the original native game resolution.

Won't run in anything else.

[Edit]
Also: let the game installer install the needed 3D files.

I didn't mean the win98 settings, but the VPC setting for win98 (memory etc.). Probably they won't even matter. Guess I give up and start building that Pentium II.

Installing Win98 as backup operation system wouldn't work?

The memory barely matters. Just give it however much you can spare for VPC.

I have the DOS Version, all set and ready to go. I will upload it onto the FTP, where it will be available.

Setup notes: This one requires a little tinkering in dosbox, you'll probably want to create a directory to mount as C:, and then two directories in that, one with the data files (the "Disk") and one as an install directory. They have to be different directories.

EDIT: It appears the logon for uploading to FTP is changed since my last review... so PM me with those details too, if you want it.

Hey guys! Could someone tell me if the download link still works?

It asks me for donation. I am afraid after my donation, it gives me an invalid link...

For me the download starts BEFORE reaching the donation page.

I say finish the donation (Anabdonia thanks you), then click the "get it" button at the review again.

If you can't make it, you can ask a mod and downloaded it from the FTP, or ask me and I download and sen to you via email (if the attachmentsize is fit of course).
