Aye, the install features had the Window 3 look to them. Very much so.

No, there sure isn't. This is one perplexing game to try to get rolling. The only thing I know works (having played it back in the mid-90's) is Windows 95 or Windows 3.11 and MS-DOS 6.22.

because the game also requires Windows to play it. Windows is for the installation and configuration of the game and DOS is for the execution of the game itself.

Well upon further thought, I've come to the conclusion that I'm gonna have to install a second OS onto my system (Windows 95 most likely) and also MS-Dos 6.22 (I was lucky and found some at my dad's house). I'll check out that "dual-boot" trick before I hve to reformat everything. 😀

Update: Tried it on a P233-MMX, 48MB RAM, Windows 98 system with 2MB Video Card and SB PCI 128 soundcard. The game installed just fine, but when I tried to run the game for the first time, the game went to a black screen (where a splash screen would appear) and just stopped. I noticed when I did a …

Now can I set up a dual boot system without having to fdisk and reformat my hard drive? Or is it possible to get an old hard drive and have Win95 or Dos or Win98 (if good) installed on it? Thanks for your responses earlier btw. 😀

Here's an interesting twist. While in XP, using compatibility modes and all that, the game's installation tells me I need Dos 6.2 or greater. Ok fine. I mount drives c and e using the commands above and try to run setup.exe from my e drive (cd-rom). The only thing that pops up is "This game requires …

Then I make a suggestion as to make a tutorial with a sticky that explains in detail how to run various emulators, etc. That would make it easier than looking around hoping to find little bits of information that I could possibly use, maybe. I'm sorry, but the documentation with Dosbox is not clear …

I'm trying to run IBM's Quest for Fame (circa 1995) on my Windows XP system. Someone recommended Dosbox to me, but I have absolutely no idea what it does, how it operates or whatnot. I don't know if any of you folks have had experience with this game, but it's the one that you use a Virtual Pick …
