Title: Old windows/dos games (Dungeon Keeper) Post by: Monsterlover on October 10, 2009, 04:56:18 PM Im trying to get an old game up and running on XP and Im not having any luck.
Anyone ever play Dungeon Keeper? When I double click the .exe, the game loads, I can pick new game, and when I click the town to build the dungeon under it crashes back to windows. [bang] [bang] [bang] Google has not helped. I have tried changing the compatibility to win95 and it didn't help. >:( Title: Re: Old windows/dos games (Dungeon Keeper) Post by: teddy037.2 on October 10, 2009, 05:14:22 PM can you run it in DOS?
do they even give you that option anymore? and speakin' of old games: zork FTW!!! king's quest, too... except for that giant rat... oohhhhh I hated that rat. Title: Re: Old windows/dos games (Dungeon Keeper) Post by: Monsterlover on October 10, 2009, 06:48:55 PM I got it working!

i finished the first one, but on the sequel, the graphics were better...and i spent most of my time in the torture room smacking the dark mistresses. ;D (http://www.lauppert.ws/images2/mistress.jpg) Title: Re: Old windows/dos games (Dungeon Keeper) Post by: Monsterlover on October 12, 2009, 11:30:00 AM DK2 is now in the dl queue [evil]
