No need to install it. Just start that copy of Windows. Main -> File Manager . Navigate to holiday.exe and run it from there.

i guess if it was that easy i would figure it out by now :/

it's giving me the MCI error, although i've applied the patch and filename.dat. is there anything else i should have done?

could anyone upload a working version and end everyone's sufferings with trying to make the game work? it's just less than 40mb.

thank you in advance

According to some of the earlier posts in this thread, disabling ingame sound and/ or speech seemer to work for them.

Hm this is very odd.
Try this: http://depositfiles.com/files/nx6690jm5
It's a copy of the game and of the Windows 3 setup I've successfully ran it in.

thank you

freshly installed win u gave me (cool desktop pic ), tried to play the game, same errors appeared.
tried fixing the filename.dat (removing spaces), didn't help.
tried with that .jar file the german guy provided, didn't help.
copied all file names from grafik folder to filename.dat (case sensitive), didn't help.
deleted folders with sounds... guess

but THEN i've deleted the folder with movies, and this is what happens


http://s14.postimage.org/l52bvszi9/hicd.jpg


i've checked all the .dat files, i've found - none containing names of the movies.

so... hmm... don't know what to do next (but to give up...)

Unhappy Gameplay too slow

Hello everyone, I downloaded Holiday Island last night and I used the infinite credit cheat which would give you 4 billion dollars in credit (ctrl+shift+alt+g). Anyway, I built this super island with tens of hotels and hundreds of luxury housing installments and a very sophisticated communications network. I sat and waited for construction to be completed, I've been waiting two days now and the date inside the game has not changed. April 29. It seems it is stuck there and it will not budge? Is this normal? Does the game speed up sometime later? What should I do ?

Hi....check in the Game Options. There is a game speed bar to increase/decrease game speed. That should do the job!

I was searching the internet for this game 64-bit version and came up with this link:

http://www.boerse.bz/boerse/spiele-a...energizer.html

It's in German btw.

I couldn't access the download link at all. Can someone check if the game really do work on 64-bit w7? And if it is possible, can someone upload the file here?
