hm... it's not the password to "enter" the game. i downloaded the pdf book but when i click twice to open it (the pdf) the program says i need a password to access the contents.

what am i doing wrong?

thanks

Hmm, I downloaded the Erik pdf book again, with no problems. I double-click to open it, and it doesn't ask for any passwords.

Try downloading the pdf again, to see if that works. Also, try updating Adobe Reader to the latest version.

I have the latest adobe reader and I still can't open or download the copy protection book. how do I get it?

I downloaded Return of the Phantom and started it okay. I left the computer for a minute. When I came back the screensaver had started, the game had shut down and now it won't load. I get a message about needing EMS. What is this and why do I need it?

Computers back in the day needed various types of memory - EMS,XMS, Himemm etc. Try closing the game down, and then restarting it in Dosbox. Click on Resume or Restore at the main menu. Hope this helps.

Use DosBox. Or VDMSound. Whichever works better on your system.
You can get them from our programs page.

The game does not work on Windows XP, it only works in DosBox.
What version of DosBox are you using? You can get the latest version from here - http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=programs

Don't try to use the Setup files, as the sound is already set. Just use the Phantom.bat in DosBox. It should work with no problems.

This game is amazing!

But I'm at the part where I've fallen from the Sky Loft, and the game keeps crashing. I've disabled sound and music, but it still crashes and my PC is way too slow to run dosbox

Hints please?

I'm afraid the game doesn't run properly on Windows. Do you have Dos or a Dos-mode in Win98?

This thread should be of some help.
If not, either reboot into DOS or use Abandonia's bootdisk.
