Alright so. I'm running an up-to-date iMac with OS X 10.5.2.

I bought the game, unknowingly that Apple had made changes to their OS so Classic Environment games do not work on the newer Apple computers.

My dillema, after hours of fiddling around with DOSBox and understanding how it works is how can I install this game through use of DOSBox.

I can mount the CD-ROM no problem. Just, when it's time to install the game... I can't neccessairily input Install.exe because there isn't one. I have two options.

Phantasmagoria 68k OR Phantasmagoria PPC

These are the installers included on the CD.

Please!!!! If someone has had this problem or a similar one... HELP ME OUT!

(I'd hate to lose out on the $50 it cost me to get this prehistoric head-ache of a game!)

Then how is it that I can run this game if I cannot execute an installation? Am I going about this the wrong way?

Get the PC version and it will run just fine in DOSBox.

Or run your existing version in Basilisk II (Phantasmagoria 68k) or Sheepshaver (Phantasmagoria PPC). But to run those emulators needs much more knowledge plus both a classic Mac system software and ROM files not available official.
