how the hell do i get this game running?!?


i tried installing it on xp mode and dloading patches to no avail, directly to windows 7 same thing, i downloaded my copy off torrents if that makes a difference, anyone got any ideas? this thing has been haunting me for over 10 years, knowing that i never got around to playing it

No clue.

I can't even get this to run on XP!

Just load the game files thru ScummVM. Should work fine with that.

edit: never mind. I guess this game doesn't use the scumm engine.

You could try this, it's supposed to work with XP and Vista so it should work on 7. Uninstall any copy you have, then use this installer.

I'm sorry that your pirated game doesn't work on your system.

I'm even more sorry that you couldn't put an error code, symptom or really anything in your post that would describe the problem to help people so inclined to help you could do so.

I would like to congratulate you on recreating one of my favourite emails to tech support for a game I've ever received, where the user complains "It crashes right after the Paradigm logo"

I've tried to get legit copies of the game running on my system, and it just won't work. Either the graphics are corrupt to hell, the program exits with an error, the sound repeats itself over and over, or the 3D is simply way too slow when it shouldn't be.

Why LucasArts hasn't patched this is beyond me.

Because it costs time and money to do so and they don't make anything from that game anymore. It's insane to expect a company to support a product forever.

Don't get me wrong - I love this game. That's the only reason I clicked on this topic. But... yeah.

i've tried getting this game to work over the last 2 years on both xp and vista, i couldnt even get the game to launch using 3rd party installers and random patches i've seen floating around, the one in this thread included, looks like it was never meant to be



hope the psn gets this game one day....a boy can dream
