Hi everyone,
In case anyone's interested, and wants to run this great spooky Trilobyte game under any of the above mentioned systems, there is an easy solution. Unfortunately, DosBox (ver.0.60) does not yet fully give an optional performance of this game (I wasn't able to run it under Win2000, and I also understand that on the DosBox game compatibility page the guy who tested it reports limited compatibility), so I suggest that until it does, you do the following.
Trilobyte created a 7th Guest patch, which enables the game to run in Win95/98/NT environment, but I was reported that the patch also works for XP, and I am currently testing it under Win2000 (it's not perfect, but seems to be working right and enjoyable so far). Unfortunately, the company has gone bankrupt (see http://www.gamespot.com/features/btg-tri/index.html), consequently their homepage is also down for good, from which one could download the patch.
The only page I found it available is this: http://www.computerhope.com/download/games.htm. You may get it from here, and follow the instructions in the zipped readme file. In case the only source closes down, I have the file, so if anyone wants it badly, I may upload it somewhere, or send it to them. (Size: 202Kb)
Also, if anyone has any ideas how to get the sequel to the game, 11th Hour run, please give a reply, since DosBox does not yet support it, it doesn't seem to be working anyhow under Win2000, and I'd love to play it... 🙄
Best regards,
Alice
