i used to love playing this game years ago. i just downloaded it from mark siebert's website (one of the game developers) but the .exe file doesn't launch the game in Windows XP. i tried changing the compatibility to 256 color, etc. but nothing works! the screen goes blank for a second like it's going to work, then goes back to my desktop. i'm just wondering how you got this game to work on a newer OS. did you use a virtual pc or were you able to use it in XP? thx in advance for any advice!
@HeliosExeunt I'm not sure what to tell you; I definitely used DosBox. I'm not sure if this helps solve the mystery, but I think (maybe?) instead of using the downloads from Mr. Seibert I actually just grabbed the files off of my real copy of the game which always used those sfx, so I guess it's the Windows version. We still have it lying around the house.
I got a DOS version of the game from Abandonia, I think, and emulated it using DOSBox. It had a different set of sound effects. After learning about ScummVM from an interview on the DOSBox website, I used that to run the Windows version from Mr. Seibert's website and got the exact same sound effects as you did in this video.

@silvermoonprod
The sound effects in your playthrough are different from the DOS version, though, and DOSBox cannot emulate the Windows version.

Were you using ScummVM? That emulates the game as well.
