64 MB? No, it is very unlikely that is too much RAM.

It is largely pointless to try to offer any tips unless you tell us more about what happens when you try to start the game.

If you downloaded the game from some illegal site on the Internet, then it is quite possible you downloaded a corrupted or buggy version that will never run properly.

Use smartdrive or ramdisk to eat up memory and leave no more than 16 MB free.

What about the /int15= parameter in himem.sys ?
Can't this one also be used to lower the amount of usable memory for XMS ?
Would be cool if that memory could be used for something useful, like games which
use int15 for extended memory instead of XMS.

I remember that aladdin or aladdin2 requieres the parameter d=64 after emm386.exe

You know, I don't think it does (and I have never heard of a game called Aladdin 2 for DOS).
