Scrummvm or whatever or Dosbox?

As far as I know, the only way to run this game on XP is by using VirtualPC. If you do a search of this forum you'll find some previous threads about it.

Is there a DOS version of the game? I don't think so - I think just Windows, in which case DosBox isn't going to help. It is not a SCUMM game so SCUMMvm won't help either.

EDIT: I stand corrected - apparently there is a DOS version, and apparently there are other ways to set it up in XP besides VirtualPC. See here (http://forums.adventuregamers.com/showthread.php?t=10336) and here (http://forums.adventuregamers.com/showthread.php?t=6850).

Hmmm...it all seems pretty confusing. Maybe i'll just wait until Christmas break where I can play it on an old system.

That would be the easiest solution, if it's an option for you. This is one of the games that's harder to run on XP. When I get around to playing it, I'm just going to install it on my old computer and not mess around.

For me it runs fine on XP up until the final part of the game. The DOS version runs fine too on XP as far as I know.
