Very interesting....
I have the Win95 "upgrade", as well as dos5.1, 6.0 upgrade, 6.2 upgrade, and the 6.22 upgrade....
I was considering a virtual machine, but that's a lot of upgrading with a really "iffy" virtual "hardware" situation. BUT, if Win95 will install in DosBox...
which emulates all the hardware anyway, then this might work.
I haven't had any further success with trying to run it through WINE on Linux...(although I haven't really had time to work with it.)
IF (big IF) this works... Then I will be running a Windows 95 game, on Windows 95, running on a DOS emulator, running on a Linux OS.
I liked Dynamix's games, but Sierra really messed it up if I have to get
EVERYBODY in on the party to run the game!
