Uhm, no idea if this is relevant, but there were some changes in the printing system over the years : https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/b8/2012/07/25/simplifying-printing-in-windows-8/ So perhaps your issue is also related to an API change several years ago. I think I read something about the old …

Sorry for the bump, but I've just gave it a try on Wine for the lulz, yet even in said compatibility layer the game still crashes. There's not much in the way of fixmes or errors in the log so I decided to run it again, this time with the warn flag enabled, and I get this: warn:menu:MENU_GetMenu …

Considering how relatively rare it is compared to the likes of Jumpstart and Carmen San Diego, so yeah I get your drift. If only Wine on Windows would come …

Sorry for the bump, but can anyone help me out on this game?

Well, the game appears to use the standard Windows print stack, but then again I care little about printing random things anyway.

I don't mind slapping the original disk in myself, but for the purposes of disk preservation that's where the no-CD cracks come in. Illicit as they may seem, but at least you …

One of the points I was trying to get at is that Windows is the only platform where each game is fixed individually using messy bandaid solutions rather than creating an underlying core or layer to emulate the entire shebang in one go. While I understand the technical reasons behind why it'll …

Is Microsoft really that desperate to sell Windows 10? Sell? You mean give away for free. If you already have a Windows 7/8 license, you can get a free upgrade to Windows 10, which will work on your future CPU. So if you wanted to install Windows 7/8 on new hardware, apparently you have such a …

Whenever I think of them, I think of Arcade America, but other than that, nah, I'm not sure about them.

I dunno if anyone has a copy of the game, and I certainly wouldn't be putting up links to it here either, but does anyone have a clue on what's causing this issue? Tried running it on compatibility mode to no avail, and attempting to do so using the Win95 compatibility bit crashes the game. http:// …
