Hey,

I can't get this game to work:

[url]www.bbsoftware.net/files/gameover/flikobomb100(dos).zip[/url]

It tells me:

"Pentium or greater processor not found."

The website (in German) tells me that it won't work under XP...

Can anybody help with this? Thanks in advance, razblow[/url]

System requirement :
166MHz - 32MB RAM - DOS, Windows 95/98/98SE or Windows 2000
with Service Pack 3 or Windows XP with Service Pack 2

SETUP.EXE seems to just hang with a black screen under WinXP NTVDM.
And as DOSBox just emulates a 486 processor (for obvious reasons), it's out of the equation here. I have all my partitions formatted using NTFS filesystem. Someone should check this game under real ms-dos or using Virtual PC or Bochs or something else.

PS - If I start the game without using setup.exe I got a main screen, but the function keys don't respond. In fact, it seems the keyboard isn't responding at all, because the EXIT key doesn't work either.

Tried it in real DOS; the setup program does the same thing as in NTVDM, but the game itself seems to work.
