Sound is an SB16, 8 megs of ram.

Alien Legacy installs, black screen with no output at start.
Syndicate Wars gives a no mouse error- is there a switch to bypass that?
Is there a driver or something I'm missing?

Mostly want AL working, that's what I built this system for more or less- it runs too fast on my pentium 2. SW is probably poop without a mouse anyway.

also laffo doom 2 chugs like hell on this system.

As this is involving old hardware, you should ask in Marvin. This is for DOS games on modern systems. If it were a new system I would just advise to use the new installer for AL.
