....... The copy I downloaded is from abandonia but from what I've read in the forum, it doesn't appear to be different.

Now then, AB has an active forum, and a troublehooting sub.

You can get all the support you wish over there.

I suppose I can try there, but I came here first to download it but it wasn't here. There was however a lot of threads here on how to get the game running and you seemed to be pretty good at helping people troubleshoot stuff like this. Oh well, thanks anyway.

Now,I did downloaded AB's version, unzipped the whole stuff on dosbox's virtual C:
Ran the game and I didn't had any problem, so it's safe to assume you screwed up somewhere.

FYI: I use 7zip to decompress, be sure you have everything in that \domain\ folder.
You seem to miss a whole lot of subfolders in your \domain\folder ....

Delete and start over from scratch friend, your \domain\ folder is a total screw up.


[Edit]
That's whats in AB's game archive:
<<click

That's how it looks after uncompressing, notice the subdirs!!!

I recently wanted to try to get this game to work again. Was wondering if this method will work with the original CD.

Would it be easier to boot up windows 95 to play old games? Can I put Windows 95 on a partition of my hard drive?

Win95 on modern hardware......????? That will be the day.
