The game needs the cputype=386_prefetch setting.

Please edit your post and remove the illegal download link, those are not welcome here.

My apologies for the link.

May I ask what "cputype=386_prefetch setting" is and how to apply it?

It's a setting in the conf file, by default it is cputype=auto. You can change it in the conf file, or just type "cputype=386_prefetch" at the prompt in DOSBox before running the game.

Still not working even when I changed the conf file...but when opening credits are finished and the screen goes black DOSbox pops up over anything I'm doing as if it is meant to be something but I dont know if this means anything. I even tried with DOSbox .70 because on the DOSbox website under compatibility for this game it gives it a 90% compatibility rating for DOSbox .70 (in the same spot it says to check out this forum witch is how I came hear)

And sorry if Im giving you any extra trouble hear, I just really want to play this game.

It works here with default settings in 0.74. You may or may not need cputype=386_prefetch depending on version of the game, but it should be safe to use even if not necessary.

I think your problem is likely how you are installing and running the game. Put the install files for the game into a folder (such as c:\floppy), then install and run the game as in this example (use whatever folder you want in place of c:\dosgames):

mount a c:\floppy -t floppy
mount c c:\dosgames
a:
install C:\TERM (go through install process)
c:
cd term
term SBLASTER

Ahhhhh yes i did not properly install with the correct steps! You have my gratitude and I cannot thank you enough Im always having troubles like this, and this is the first time I have had such fantastic troubleshooting. This is just an extra question to help my DOS knowledge, but how does one know weather or not to include the step (mount a c:\floppy -t floppy) why do you need the "-" and why would it be mounted to the "a" drive?

The idea is to create conditions most alike to what the install program and game program were intended to work with on real DOS systems back in the day. You're less likely to run into problems that way.

On real DOS systems the A: and B: drive were the floppy drives. Almost all systems had an A: drive, B: was optional. Floppy-based install programs sometimes expect to be installed from the A: or B: drive, but not all insist on it. Mounting with the "-t floppy" switch is not strictly necessary in most cases; however, it presents an amount of total and free space on the source install drive that is less likely to confuse some install programs. Also, in a multi-floppy install, when you change the contents of the floppy-mounted folder for each disk, it is not necessary to refresh the disk cache by pressing Ctrl-F4 when the folder is mounted with the "-t floppy" switch.

Ok awesome that clears things up for me. And thanks again for all the assistance, Im sure I will need more in the future haha!

And by the way the game is really fun 😁

I finally got the game to work but after the credits it turns black but the music's still playing.

Any suggestions?

Did you follow the how to install ripsaw gave?

I tried it again with the VGA version and it's working now. You guys rock!!
