Hello,

I hoped maybe someone here could help me. I've installed the game and the QuickTime version that came with it 2.0.3.
I can play the sample.mov video with the QuickTime player but when I play the game all videos instantly get skipped (they probably can't get loaded)

I have Windows 3.1 running in DosBox (v. 0.74-3) and everything else seems to run just fine on the installation. (Played some Monty Python Holy Grail with great success! ^^)

There's an .ini file in the game's installation folder that seems to indicate the game was made with Director 4.0 if that helps.

Cheers

Ok, I got it to work by copying over the installation from DosBox to PCEm and when I launch the game there the videos play. 😁
