Hi,
I'm going to purchase GOG release of TIM sooner or later, but as of now, a bit of curiosity crosses my mind; perhaps those who've already purchased the set could help me figure this out.
Is The Even More Incredible Machine from this compilation ran using Dosbox and DOS binaries, or is it Windows release somehow forced to be compatible with modern Windows versions?
The reason I'm asking is because my shelf is missing a DOS version (or a WORKING Windows counterpart), which is hell more comfortable to use in the days of Dosbox. The only way to play TEMIM on Windows XP is to... use Dosbox to launch Windows 3.11, then run the game in the emulated environment. That's kinda funny, though performance obviously can't be astonishing.
Thanks in advance! :-)
