It won't run for me either and that's not surprising. The main executable is NE, that is, a Win3.x executable.

How about the problem involving the saves refusing to register in Alien Carnage? I'm sure other users were able to solve this problem easily. Using DOSBox 0.65 and D-Fend v2 to run the game, and I am also having the similar save problem in another game.

make sure your using the latest version of alien carnage?

I have Alien Carnage version 1.0 (Halloween Harry Special Edition) which probably isn't the latest version. Any idea where I could obtain an update patch?

Somehow some other users actually claim to be able to get Zombie Wars to run fine on XP. Their message said to configure compatibilty modes to Win98 + 256 bit color. Perhaps they have a later version of the game that actually has the potential to function on XP.

hmm Alien Carnage can't save it's files ?
Are you sure they aren't read only ?
Else I will take a look to figure out what is wrong (when running in DOSBox that is.)

Apparently, the save problem probably doesn't have any relation because I have already unchecked read-only for the folder and the problem persists. Others have complained about this as well, some of them might not have been DOSBox users. I'm sure the problem has to do with the version of the game but I still haven't found a place that has patches or the latest version of Halloween Harry. Where exactly could I find some sources for the downloads?

i've taken a look at alien carnage the problem only appears to happen with the first savegame and not the 2nd and 3rd.
I've figured out what goes wrong, but haven't been able to determine yet if it's an emulation problem of a game specific problem.

latest version of halloween harry is the full version release of alien carnage.

alien carnage = latest halloween harry

get alien carnage... no idea on patches for zombie wars.
