lordhoff: The three games were with gog re-release, correct? Sounds like getting the pack may be a good thing. The old game warns that it wasn't designed for Win 95 so using a windows box was at your own risk. It worked fine, though, for the most part. Not sure why going into DOS mode (the other start up option) made a difference when stuck but I did it several times and after getting past the problem point, I could return to using the windows box (and my mouse!).
Hey, how does this series work with XP? The one loaded here now is on my old computer running Win 98 but that geezer's time has to be very limited - bought it in 1999.

Yep all 3 of the games were the gog versions. I had actually never played this game before getting it on gog. Also XP was the system I was running it on. I did find that to get the best performance you need to run it on 1024x768 resolution or lower but it looks great and ran well.
As for using the mouse you can do that in the dos version or at least in gogs version. I had the game setup with wasd and a normal fps mouse(looking up and down, side to side all on the mouse). Just need to press U I think it is to toggle mouse look on mouse on.
