There seems no way to run this marvelous game under windows XP...
I tried everything except VMWARE (but that's cheating!).
I also saw a version in a shop for only 20 Euro. I don't know if this version supports windows or is just the normal version.
Any hints ?
This, IIRC, is one of the more difficult titles to get working (if in fact, it can be made to work). Anyone recall the (rather frustrating) message thread from the old board?

FWIW, I know you can emulate the Amiga-CD32 version (32-color) using WinUAE on a PC. The drop in colors is noticeable, but not catastrophic. More of an issue is the audio sample quality. Not sure if it's due to emulation or not. However, it _does_ work.
If you're already using WinUAE, it's no big deal to set up an install of B.A.S.S. If not, you may want to consider the effort needed.
The 32-Color Amiga-CD32 version is freely available (with permission) at:

(Word of warning: It's a 64Meg download)
Also, there was (supposedly) an AGA Amiga-CD32 version which had the full 256-color palette. That, however, is not freely available and apparently almost impossible to find.
Just to give you an idea, here the emulation running in a window.
This one kind of shows the effect of dropping to 32 colors.
I've got BaSS to run in Windows 2000 SP3 but with a few problems:
I'm going to output wave to disk so that you can hear exactly what I'm talking about.
Yes, it’s my fault.
