Apart from doing all the usual stuff with the compability settings for the .exe, including turning off visual themes, I don't really know, as I multiboot, and will install it on another os instead.
But you can try what rossco suggests here.
And also try what is suggested here. For nemesis.
And try this for grand inquisitor.
Thanks. I'll try that.
In the worst case, I'll just have to install win98 on another partition. I just have to find a working serial (how hard is that? ;) )
I got a win98SE original for my birthday, so I had to install it. :01:
Everybody who likes classic games should have a multiboot system, anyway.
Really?Quote:

Ok I won't. :unsure:
EDit. I should prolly add that you can't buy it anymore, but that the copy I got had been sitting in someone's desk for years after having been used once.
To pre-empt any attempts to point out that the original can't be bought any more.
You dont need to install 98. Right-click > Properties > Compatability tab > change the mode to Windows 98/Windows ME.
Doesn't always work, sorry.Quote:

Iv got a dvd with every version of Windows ever released on it :01:
Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrials for SNES.
Cool, I've got everything since win95 at home, most of it originals. :01:Quote:

Since the poster above posted Lufia, which isn't really a traditional puzzler but more of an RPG, I might as well recommend the resident evil titles, especially the first one, or better yet the director's cut of the first one, offers puzzles alongside some nice horror-flick-style action.
Otherwise the monkey Island titles, as well as the discworld ones, are both funny and interesting, and more traditional.
And then there's bladerunner, tho' it looks pretty dated alongside CSI.
Zork: Grand Inquisitor looks good. Anybody got an eMule d/l link?
thx
Yuppers totally bootable, you boot it and it shows a nice little graphics picture with a small menu, you push 1 for Dos, 2 for Windows 3.1, 3 for 95, 4 for 98, 5 for ME, 6 for 2000, 7 for XP and 8 for 2003. Im not sure with the others but when i pushed 7 for Xp it took me to another menu where i could install Home, Pro or Corp, and i know it has Standard Server, Professional Server and Corp Server for 2003. A nice handy tool, it also has one or two other things as well in which you push 9 and it gives you a few partion tools. Theres a second dvd which im getting right now which contains a few versions of windows iv never run/heard of, some nice tools, ever version of Dos. I can't wait to boot up Windows 1.0 :01:Quote:
