I have an old 486DX 66 computer running DOS with a VGA monitor. Has anyone tried getting this game (or any other classics from GOG) to run on an older computer?
I'd prefer to play this game on my older computer if it's possible.
Oh my... :)
Well, the installers will only run on XP and above (well, in practice it's Win2000 and above), so you would have to install the game on a compatible system and copy the game's installation folder (apart from the image file/files, described below, if there are any present) onto the old 486, somehow... ;)
If there is a large file with the .gog extension, accompanied by a matching .inst file, rename them to .bin and .cue, respectfully. Make sure to always edit the .cue file afterward, so that it will point to a .bin file, rather than a .gog file. You would then have to burn the image's contents onto a CD.
If the game's soundtrack is in .ogg format, rather than Audio CD, you would have to burn them onto a CD as an Audio CD - make sure to leave the first track empty, as that's where the game data would normally be. :)
After all this this done (you've copied the files and prepared the data/audio CD/CDs), you would have to launch the game from your command prompt (or Norton Commander, or whatever;)) like in the old days. Look for an appropriate executable - naturally, DOSBox won't work on DOS. ;)
I'm afraid I'll have to leave the hassle with tweaking your autoexec.bat and config.sys (if needed) to your imagination, though. :D
Be sure to thank Grah for explaining the bit about image files in a way I could understand. ;)
