"Lost in Time" is a favorite game of my sister's...It's also an absolute pig to get running.

I can get it to run on a 486-66 with 32 megs of memory, even though the install program claims that it has negative memory. The fact that it freaks out just because it has 32Megs of memory didn't bode well, and I was right.

I can't get this thing to run or my machine (or anything else that's not 10 years old). DOS,Win9x, XP. It doesn't matter. Always locks up on the first scene of the game.

Anyone else come across a solution for this? I'm thinking that "Coktel" took some shortcuts when they programmed this.

Every Coktel game I've ever seen has had cuts somewhere. I'm not really that surprised.

Yes, it’s my fault.

Was afraid of that. Runs under Virtual PC, barely.
This may be future DosBox material.

Harekiet: Will later versions of DOSBox allow for faking the amount of memory? I mean, I would assume that it would...

  • VRAM (much later, heh)
  • RAM
  • HDD

Yes, it’s my fault.
