Been awhile since i tried to get Space Bucks running under WinXP.
I succeeded doing so some years back, so i thought for nostalgic reasons i'ld give the game a go again.

Running Win95 compatibility, 640x400, 256 colors.
But now i get a message "Spacebuc has caused a general protection fault.....".

Anyone got any ideas.

Space Bucks is one game that I've never been able to get running in XP without an emulator.

VirtualPC, which is now free. The catch is that you need to have an older version of Windows to install in it.

Ah VPC, never bothered making a VP-HD.
Guess i'll have to clean off a few feet of dust from my old Win95/Win98 cds and give me a go.
