Hi y'all.
I've been trying to run the three Premier Manager games by Gremlin Graphics (early 1990s) on a WinXP Home, SP1 system, with rather mixed results, and was wondering whether anyone has any suggestions.
Premier Manager I
- In WinXP, runns fine, but a weird color palette causes it to have some white-on-white text. 256-color compatibility doesn't solve this.
- With VDMSound, same result.
- With DOSBox, the colors are fine, but the mouse cursor is shifted, which makes it hard to click on the proper field.
(I'd like to know whether I can run it somehow, with proper colors.)
Premier Manager II
- In WinXP, it freezes on startup.
- With VDMSound, it runns perfectly.
- Not tested with DOSBox.
(No complaints here, it's only FYI.)
Premier Manager III
- In WinXP, a no-go; tried all compatibility mode combinations.
- With VDMSound, a no-go; gives me a "could not find an Extended Memory Manager"
- With DOSBox, a no-go; freezes upon loading.
(Any way to run this game?)
I must confess that I'm a total newbie when it comes to configuring VDMSound and DOSBox, so I may have overlooked something basic.
